All employees are required to enter a request for off-site external professional development (i.e. not at a district building).  The tile on the Intranet will lead you to the Smartsheet dashboard that contains instructions, resources, and the initial submission form.  It is important to start this process well in advance – at least four (4) weeks – to allow time for review, approvals, and business functions.  Employees should enter their request as soon as they have spoken to their supervisor regarding their attendance.  Approval from the district must be granted prior to the Business Office processing any payment or registration.  Please refer to the Expense Reimbursement Procedure for which costs are allowable for reimbursement and could be considered on your request.
