The 18 PD Hours is a type of “bank” that educators are entitled to. It requires administrator/manager approval before it is added to the timesheet. Therefore, it goes through the same process as when an employee requests time off.

So, click the Continue button to proceed.
- Select the Time Off Type from the dropdown menu. Certificated staff have “FWEA 18 PD Hours Continuing Ed“ in the dropdown. Classified staff have “FWEA 18 PD Hours Continuing Ed-PAR” Select either of the two options. It taps into your 18 Hour PD bank.
