Conference or Workshop Attendance During the School Day



The Application for Conference or Workshop Attendance form is to be used for workshops offered by groups, organizations or schools held during normal school hours either in the district or out of the district. No salary credit will be given for participation. All such activities require prior approval at the building level and the Substitute Teacher Coordinator must be contacted.
