PWCS Tuition Reimbursement Program Update
The purpose of the PWCS Tuition Reimbursement Program is to encourage professional growth and development, to meet certification and license renewal requirements, and to increase instructional knowledge and skills sets. This program is available on a first-come-first-served basis, contingent on the availability of budgeted funds. At this time there are no funds available for any remaining fall, winter or spring classes for fully licensed PWCS teachers, classified employee in teaching programs or non-core subject provisionally licensed teachers. We are no longer accepting paperwork for classes falling within the current fiscal year - July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013.
The new budget is set for FY 2103-14 and we are accepting requests for tuition reimbursements for FY 2013-14 for classes with end dates between July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014. Reimbursement requests must be submitted upon registration for a course and must include a course description and proof of payment for the approval process. Upon approval, funds are held pending course completion and the receipt of your grade of B or better within 45 days of completing the class. You must continue employment with PWCS for a full 12 months following receipt of a reimbursement or pay back the school division 100 percent of your reimbursement. For more information regarding all tuition reimbursement programs, including the NCLB Grant for provisionally licensed core-subject teachers, test reimbursements and VDOE tuition assistance for provisional Special Education teachers, please visit the tuition reimbursement page of the Benefits website.

Condition Care: COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is sometimes called emphysema or chronic bronchitis. If one of your employees is diagnosed with COPD or already has it, there are things they can do to breathe easier. One step they can take is to sign up for Anthem’s ConditionCare program. It’s already part of your benefits, so there’s no added cost to join. Spread the word about the program by distributing our ConditionCare: COPD flier.
