June 30th PD Day Clarification

We are in receipt of numerous requests for clarification regarding the June 30th P.D. Day.  Some members are asking how they can participate and where it will be held.
The June 30th PD Day is the day that OTs will receive a day's pay for working providing all 21 on-line training modules* are completed.  These are the Mandatory On-Line Training that you must complete.  It is accessed by going to the Employee Portal under Staff Development and Training/Mandatory Training.
So, there is no PD to actually "go to".  It is the day that all OTs will be paid for completing the Mandatory On-Line Training, by June 30th, 2011.
* Please note that the Domestic Violence module is in development and will not be available until the next school year. 

Our Spring General Meeting on May 26th, at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn was a wonderful success.  We held Elections for our Local and we are pleased to announce your New Executive for 2011-2012:
