  1.24  committee to develop the plan, assist site professional 
  1.25  development teams in developing a site plan consistent with the 
  1.26  goals of the plan, and evaluate staff development efforts at the 
  1.27  site level.  A majority of the advisory committee and the site 
  1.28  professional development team must be teachers representing 
  1.29  various grade levels, subject areas, and special education.  The 
  1.30  advisory committee must also include nonteaching staff, parents, 
  2.1   and administrators.  Districts must report staff development

  2.10  categories, the report must also indicate whether the 
  2.11  expenditures were incurred at the district level or the school 
  2.12  site level, and whether the school site expenditures were made 
  2.13  possible by the grants to school sites that demonstrate 
  2.14  exemplary use of allocated staff development revenue.  These 
  2.15  expenditures are to be reported using the UFARS system.  The 
  2.16  commissioner shall report the staff development expenditure data 
  2.17  to the education committees of the legislature by February 15
