Vandalia-Butler City Schools
Local Professional Development Committee

In 1996, Ohio's General Assembly passed Senate Bill 230, which authorized the establishment of Local Professional Development Committees (LPDCs). Such committees are to be established in every school district and chartered nonpublic school by September 1998. The purpose of the committees is to review the coursework and other professional development activities proposed and completed by educators within the district to determine if the requirements for renewal of certificates or licenses have been met.

The purpose of the LPDC is to foster collegial dialog, encourage professional staff development, and review IPDPs completed by educators within the Vandalia-Butler City School District for their renewal of certificates or licenses.
