Administrator Staff Development Fund

Though the budget has been reduced, a limited amount of money is available for administrators to attend a professional development workshop or pay for college tuition. Download the form using one of the links below and send in your application by the deadline date.

To apply and reserve funds, you only need to know the name, date, and location of the event. Once you've been approved, you turn in your receipts for reimbursement within 30 days following the event. These funds are not available for non-administrators, because they are district funds designated for administrator staff development. Similar funds for teachers and coaches are managed by the JCEA office.

If you were approved for funding this year and no longer plan to attend the conference, please let us know so we can pass those funds on. If you do NOT submit receipts within 30 days of completing training (or contact JCAA with a reason why you cannot meet this timeline), funds will be forfeited and released to the next unfunded pending application.

2010-2011 applications will be reviewed, first-come, first-served for training to occur after July 1, 2010 and before May 30, 2011. Application review starts May 31, 2010 and continues as long as funds are available or until May 30, 2011.

The purpose of this fund is to support administrators through networking and professional development by helping fund attendance at professional development conferences, classes and events.

All administrators and professional / technical employees on the administrative salary schedule can apply.

Because this is a district fund, you do not need to be a JCAA member to apply for funding, but you do need to be an administrator.

JCAA has responsibility for fund allocation and distribution. Allocation policies and procedures are set by a JCAA subcommittee and are based on District Cabinet and Board of Education policies and procedures.

READ CAREFULLY! Funds not used within 30 days of an event shown on an approved application will automatically be forfeited and re-allocated to the next unfunded pending application. Failure to submit receipts within 30 days after completing training will also result in forfeiture and re-allocation. Attending a different event from the one on the originally approved application will also result in forfeiture and re-allocation. Applicants impacted by forfeiture may choose to submit another application in the 2010-2011 year but the re-application will move to the bottom of the approval queue.

PLEASE NOTE: All expense reimbursement requests are to follow the stipulations outlined in the Jeffco Schools' Policy DKC and the procedures and policy document attached with the application form. Original documentation is required for all employee reimbursements. Forms without original receipts will be returned. For reimbursements made to the department or school by journal entry, you may submit copies of original receipts.
