Types of Funds
There are currently two funds for professional
development of classified staff.
Classified Staff Training Funds
Classified staff training funds are available
throughout the fiscal year to pay for tuition, books, conference
fees, and some other charges. Food, travel and lodging costs
are not covered by this fund. There is a total of $10,000
budgeted annually for this purpose, with funds renewal on July 1.
Current guidelines state that each individual
may utilize up to $400 from this fund per fiscal year, which is
awarded at 100% of cost for covered items.
In addition to individual requests, the
committee may elect to provide training events during the year, some
of which may require usage of these funds.
President's Education Fund
The President has generously set aside $10,000 to
help classified staff employees pursue educational degrees and
certificate programs. The CSTC will send out a request for
proposals via email near the beginning of fall, winter, and spring
quarter. One third of the annual budget will be available each
quarter, with any unused funds carrying over into the next quarter.
This fund is awarded on a reimbursement basis
only upon successful completion of the class or course. Costs
associated with attending in-state public schools are reimbursed at
50% of the out-of-pocket expenses; costs associated with attending
all other qualifying schools will be reimbursed at 40% of these
costs.
There is no annual limit as to the amount of
funds that one individual can receive.
