Are there any circumstances under which a district is not required to reserve 2 percent of basic revenue for staff development?
Districts that are in statutory operating debt are exempt from the requirement. In addition, districts may annually waive the requirement to reserve all or any part of the 2 percent if a majority of the teachers and a majority of the school board vote to do so. The vote may occur whether or not the district committee or the site teams support the waiver.
