PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE, ADMINISTRATION
AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS
The Department of Education revised regulation P250 M.R. 101/95 section 8(1) states:
"The number of days set aside in each school year for teacher in-service, parent-teacher conferences, administration and pupil evaluation in Kindergarten through Senior 4 must not exceed 10 days, of which at least 5 must be used for teacher in-service."
August, 1995
These days provide teachers and principals with opportunities for professional development and assessment as well as time to evaluate new courses and changes in methodology. Also, they can be used for parent-teacher conferences to improve communication with parents, for administration purposes to plan and develop changes and improvements for the school system and for student evaluation.
As the board believes that these days contribute to the overall effectiveness of the school division, it authorizes the superintendent to utilize up to ten teaching days during each calendar year, at which time the schools will be closed to students, for the purpose of staff professional development, parent-teacher conferences and administration.
The superintendent shall inform the board in advance of the dates which will be used for such purposes.
Parents and bus drivers and bus contractors shall be informed in advance of the dates schools will be closed and the reasons for closure.
