Meridian School District

2024-25 Professional Development Plan



Policy 5520: Staff Development

Professional Growth and Development for Non-administrative Staff

Additional training and study are prerequisites for continued growth and effectiveness of staff members. It is also
necessary for staff members with increased responsibilities and new demands. Staff are encouraged to gain
additional job-related skills through special study or in-service training.

Professional Growth and Development for Administrators

The board recognizes that training and study for administrators contributes to their skill development necessary
to better serve the needs of the district. Each year the superintendent or designee will develop an administrative
in-service program based upon the needs of the district, as well as the needs of individual administrators.
