Administrators and Classified Staff
Classified Staff, Managers, and Administrators are encouraged to participate. Classified Staff may attend with prior approval from their supervisor. No attendance verification is necessary.

Attendance & Verification
Faculty with semester-length assignments are released from their regular duties to attend professional development activities and are paid for such attendance. Faculty members are required to sign the roster for the President's Address or Tauzer Lecture, and each general session, keynote address or workshop attended. Attendance verification is also required by the Chancellor’s Office; as such, a signed Verification Form is required in order to receive credit for attendance.

Regular Faculty:
The 2011-12 PDA Days are Friday, August 19, 2011 and Thursday, February 16, 2012. These are mandatory attendance days. Faculty members may not choose to perform other district activities in lieu of attendance at PDA Day activities. There will be no make up for activities missed. A Notice of Absence (NOA) Form must be filed with the Human Resources Department by May 1, 2012 if absent. Staff Development must receive a copy of the NOA prior to it being submitted to HR.

Adjunct Faculty (including Unit A):
Adjunct Faculty are welcome and encouraged to attend the Institutional Day, but attendance is not mandatory. Please be advised that, if you have a flex obligation for the Spring 2012 semester, this event does count for flex credit (a completed verification form is necessary to receive credit), but if your class is cancelled or your obligation changes for any reason, you may end up not being paid for this day.

Adjunct faculty flex obligations are equal to the total number of hours taught in full-semester classes on Thursday and Friday during the Spring 2012 semester.
