At Wapakoneta City Schools, we are committed to providing support and resources that actively engage all members of the school community in continuous professional growth. Ultimately, we hope to design and implement professional development that will help support our staff as they become the leaders in providing excellent learning experiences for our students.

WEA Negotiated Agreement 1 15.14.1a:  

Six contact hours of professional development between June 1 through May 31 may annually be substituted for WOEA Day with the certificates of attendance provided as documentation by May 31 of that school year. Acceptable staff development includes the following, but is not limited to: college classes, Wapakoneta City Schools after-school training, building book studies, and seminars outside of the school day. Contact hours issued for district committee meetings, paid professional leave, or Association meetings will not be considered for this provision. Association members attending WOEA Day events shall provide certificates of attendance for a minimum of four contact hours. Staff members who do not achieve six hours of staff development outside of WOEA Day shall have their salaries reduced proportionately, based on their per diem rate, by the second pay in June.
