MFPE Days

The Montana Federation of Public Employees hosts an annual Educator conference the third week in October for two consecutive days.  This conference time is part of the Certified Collective Bargaining Agreement and two state-paid days.  Since these days are paid and required by state law they must be made up if they are missed.  The information below can help you through a replacement process should a certified employee miss them.

MFPE Replacement Process

Certified Employees of Livingston Public Schools may propose professional development alternatives to attendance at annual educators’ conferences or for future Pupil Instruction Related (PIR) or other in-service. The staff member must fill out the form below and submit it to the professional development committee before the professional development is traded.
