Since tomorrow, November 3rd, is a building PD day this is a reminder regarding start and end times for district PD.
Past practice according to the 2006-2007 Letter of Agreement (see attached) states full day professional development begins at 8:00am and ends at 3:15pm. Half day professional development is a total of three hours and 30 minutes including a 15-minute break. The Letter of Agreement does not specify lunch period guidelines for PD days. However, in order to be in compliance with state requirements for earning State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs), full day professional development requires two-fifteen minute breaks and a minimum of a thirty minute lunch.
