Office of Professional Development
The Office of Professional Development provides ongoing support for all licensed, administrative, and classified personnel. Our goal is to build the capacity of all district employees through staff development that improves the learning of all the children we serve. The department also coordinates the induction program for personnel new to the district or their position.
If you are working toward a salary advancement, please refer to the LATERAL MOVE GUIDELINES on the Human Resources Webpage.
If you have a certificate that you would like have added to your SVVS transcript, please upload it to THIS FORM and it will be reviewed for possible credit. We no longer require that certificates be added to your SVVS transcript in order to use them for a latera move.
