The Foundation provides funding for teachers, as well as other administrative CRCSD staff, to receive financial assistance for professional development. Funds may be applied to conference registrations, para-professional degree completion, certifications, graduate degree work, summer workshops, or for the purchase of materials for innovative curricular projects. Staff must contractually commit to the CRCSD for at least one year following the completion of the professional development coursework.
