Professional Development

Budget for Professional Development

---

Funds for professional development are not isolated by line item in the Even Start grant application. Rather, professional development is considered part of payroll costs. Local programs determine the appropriate line item within object code 6100 based on whether the position is full time, part time or extra-duty pay. Pre-service and inservice training are necessary for staff serving all components of Even Start. Programs should be careful to allot sufficient funds for staff development in the program budget, including travel costs associated with participating in state-required grantee meetings or trainings. A list of anticipated meetings/trainings is listed on the Texas LEARNS calendar. Coordinators need to work closely with their business office managers to ensure successful budget planning for federal and local share as it relates to federal, state and local policy.
