- GUIDELINES FOR EXCHANGE DAYS:
- 7.5 hours of professional development may be exchanged for one day off. Staff can earn up to 2 days off per school year. (An exchange day should not be used in conjunction with personal leave.)

- Staff must use the hours earned for the 2021-2022 school year by June 6, 2022. Professional development exchange day hours DO NOT roll over from year to year and cannot be converted to pay.
- To earn professional development exchange day hours, staff must attend professional development sessions (including online courses/webinars) held during “off contract” time. “Off contract” time includes weekend, holiday, after school and summer hours that are outside of the staff member’s regularly scheduled working hours.
- The professional development sessions attended must directly relate to the professional goals and job duties/requirements of the staff member and must be PREAPROVED BY PRINCIPAL.
- Types of activities which are not eligible for exchange day hours include faculty meetings, PTO meetings, parent/teacher conferences, travel time to and from conferences, school related social and athletic events, committee work that provides a stipend.
- Hours used toward a day off CANNOT be used for certificate renewal, certificate upgrades or add on certifications.
