Licensure

The district and school buildings provide a variety of professional development opportunities for certified staff members to help them grow and meet licensure requirements outlined by the state.

Our Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC) is responsible for reviewing and approving professional development activities that allow teachers and administrators to renew their licenses(s). Tricia Smith, the Director for Technology and Licensure, is the LPDC Coordinator and maintains the Hamilton’s Academy Site, which allows staff members to submit Individual Professional Development Plans (IPDP), claim professional development coupon codes, and track their Continuing Education Units (CEU). She can be reached at tsmith@hcsdoh.org.

To apply for or renew a license, certified staff members must visit the OH|ID Website to access their account.

Non-Discrimination Policy - Title IX

Any form of discrimination or harassment can be devastating to an individual's academic progress, social relationship, and/or personal sense of self-worth. As such, the Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation or transgender identity), disability, age (except as authorized by law), religion, military status, ancestry, or genetic information (collectively, "Protected Classes") in its educational programs or activities.

The Board also does not discriminate on the basis of Protected Classes in its employment policies and practices as they relate to students, and does not tolerate harassment of any kind.

Equal educational opportunities shall be available to all students, without regard to the Protected Classes, age (unless age is a factor necessary to the normal operation or the achievement of any legitimate objective of the program/activity), place of residence within the boundaries of the District, or social or economic background, to learn through the curriculum offered in this District. Educational programs shall be designed to meet the varying needs of all students.

Title IX Coordinators serve as the grievance officers and coordinate the District’s efforts to comply with and carry out responsibilities under Title IX, including any complaint under Title IX. They are vested with the authority and responsibility for investigating all sexual harassment complaints in accordance with the Title IX procedures. The Board designates and authorizes the following individual(s) to serve as Title IX Coordinators and to oversee and coordinate efforts to comply with Title IX regulations:
