Any shared professional development activities that a district would like to put through the CoSer 526 program must have a planning sheet filled out and returned to the School Improvement office at least 30 days prior to the event.

Special Project Contracts are used to pay consultants who are not being paid through a business and who are not a member of the NYS teachers retirement system. Special Project Contracts must be Board approved and therefore need to be submitted well in advance of the event.

Districts can use Form A to submit both substitute reimbursement claims and reimbursement claims for mileage paid to teachers attending approved staff development activities.

Casual employee packets are for teachers and administrators who are to be paid for staff development or curriculum development that is above and beyond the contract agreement they have with their school district. Superintendents must approve all payments before submission to the CoSer.
