Course Reimbursement 1. Teachers will be eligible for reimbursement for courses that will enhance the Teacher’s ability to improve student academic performance.
2. To be eligible for reimbursement, courses must be approved by the Professional Growth Committee (employing the program of staff development mandated by the state as an integral part of the Teacher’s recertification process) prior to taking the course; advance approval from the Superintendent of Schools is required.
3. Upon successful completion of the course with a grade of “B” or better, and submission of a transcript or signed official grade report and verification of tuition payment to the Superintendent, the Teacher will be reimbursed for the cost of tuition and registration fees.
4. Payment of course reimbursement is for tuition and related fees only. An individual is entitled to receive 2/3 reimbursement cost for 6 graduate level credits during each year of this contract not to exceed the New Hampshire resident UNH graduate level dollar amount plus any related fees. However, in no event shall the District expend more than $20,000 per contract year for course reimbursement. In the event that requests for course reimbursement exceed $20,000 in a contract year, the following lottery system will apply: Reimbursement will be available in two (2) reimbursement periods. Employees may apply for up to six (6) credits during period 1 after June 30th and prior to October 1st. Employees may apply for up to six (6) during period 2 starting December 1st. The disbursement of funds in period 1 shall not exceed half of the yearly agreed upon amount. Any sums not used during period 1 shall be rolled into period 2. Anyone applying during period 1 who has met the period 1 deadline will have their application considered. If the total of the requests is more than the designated monetary amount, then a lottery system will ensue to determine which applications receive the money. Those whose applications were not selected in period 1 will be eligible to submit again during period 2. If the total of the requests for period 2 is more than the designated monetary amount, then a lottery system will ensue to determine which applications receive the money. The disbursement in period 2 shall not exceed the total agreed upon amount. Applications for reimbursement in period 2 may not have received any previous reimbursement during period 1 unless there are unexpended funds in period 2. Also, if an applicant received funds in period 1, that application may not cause a lottery to occur in period 2.
5. Advance Payment Plan - The District will prepay for any course that has been approved by the Professional Growth Committee (employing the program of staff development mandated by the state as an integral part of the Teacher's recertification process). Each participating Teacher will enter into an Agreement with the District to submit receipts, grades, and other paperwork for the course that was prepaid. The Teacher will agree in writing to keep his/her advanced payment account records up- to-date. If the Teacher fails to fulfill the requirements of the advanced payment plan, the Teacher agrees that the District will withhold any balance due the District from the last paycheck under the Teacher's contract.
