Should you pay for your own professional development?

Membership to the APEx Community is not free. We've created a Basic membership at an affordable price of $49/month (about two lattes a week). A Pro level membership, which includes more access to live events and group coaching, is $109/month, so yes, you might want some help with that.

Is your school district willing to invest in you?

APEx members come from all over the country, so we we can't answer this question for you. What we can say is that some districts want to support their assistant principals and are happy to pay for an annual Pro membership.

How do I know if my district will help me?

The answer depends on your district. The best place to begin is with your principal. Talk to your principal about the benefits of APEx Community. The top button on the right will provide you with a handy two-page overview of how APEx Community benefits school districts. The second button provides you with a basic template for making a written request for funding.

How does applying for district funds work?

​We understand that the application for funding may take time, so there are two options.
If you apply for and secure funding prior to the deadline for application, then simply choose the Pro Annual Membership option and make a one-time payment of $1150.
 
If you will not be able to make the payment in time, choose District Pending membership. The cost is $49 a month (the basic membership price) but you will have Pro access for the first three months pending district payment. We will refund up to three months of the $49 membership upon request.
 
If you are unable to secure district funding, you may maintain a basic membership at $49/month, upgrade to $109/month, or discontinue your membership.

Other payment information

​Individuals will pay through the website, which uses Stripe to process multiple forms of payment. Districts may also use Stripe or issue a check for $1150 to:
 
Strategic Leadership Consulting, LLC
EIN: 83-3116670
PO Box 1293
Cullowhee, NC 28723

What about professional development hours?

​
​Most states require some form of recertification credits. Below are the estimated actual hours of monthlyactivity based on specific categories. This is an estimate and each participant’s actual time will vary. We will be happy to sign off on hourly credits if that is required.
