Meetings
The CPIC committee meets on the first Thursday of the month. The committee reviews all inservice requests for classes, and they may make recommendations regarding approval. Class requests must be to our department by the 25th of the month.

The committee functions to help classified employees gain needed skills and abilities. As a classified employee, you may want to suggest a class for your own improvement. You may email, telephone, or contact Lucy Bateman to receive information about applying for a class or suggesting classes for the committee to approve.  Suggestions for classes to be taught must be accompanied by suggestions for teachers who would be available, knowledgeable, experienced in the subject.
