Professional learning is the means by which teachers, administrators, and other school/system personnel acquire, enhance, and refine the knowledge, skills, and commitment necessary to create and support high levels of learning for all students.
In accordance with State Board of Education rule, Trion City Schools has appointed a Professional Learning Advisory Committee to advise and assist the system coordinator in the assessment of professional learning needs, determination of priorities, content and quality of activities, and evaluation of the professional learning program.

- Sandy Bryant, Special Education Director
- Howard Hughes, Technology Director
- Scott Crabbe, Principal

- Inclusion of professional learning in school accountability plan
- Planning of professional learning activities
- Managing professional learning approval
