KALPA Information

KALPA is the system KPS uses to track the Professional Development hours for each individual teacher and administrator throughout the district. Building and district level PD is entered into the system by the Professional Development office. Once those sessions are in the system, staff can navigate the system and add those sessions to their personal plan. At the end of every school year, the Professional Development office submits each teacher's plan to the state.
