All eligible activities shall be recorded on the teacher’s electronic transcript, which shall serve as the official record of completed activities.  It shall be the employee’s responsibility to record activities immediately upon completion. “Out-of-district” credit for unscheduled in-service activities MUST be approved by the building-level principal and appropriate supervisor PRIOR to completion of the activity.  All activities must occur between May 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023, and must be recorded on the electronic transcript no later than 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2023.
