Whether your district uses MyLearningPlan or not, any educator can register via MyLearningPlan.com through School Improvement Services at Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga BOCES (www.tstboces.org).  Registration fee and substitute cost are BOCES aidable through CoSers or through cross-contract with T-S-T BOCES.
