    Contingency Plan Part I:

• Teachers meeting their performance level but not returning to the campus will have their award  forwarded to the address they left on file with the campus

 

• Funds allocated to departments failing to reach their required performance level, will be divided equally among the teachers who did meet their performance level criteria. Individual awards may not exceed $10,000.00

*** According to the Commissioner’s rules concerning the Governor’s Educator Excellence Award program each individual incentive should be no less than $3,000.00 and no more than $10,000.00 per teacher to the extent practicable. Due to our campus staff size of certified teachers who teach students daily in an academic setting that exceeds 4 hours, an award of $3,000.00 to $10,000.00 is not practicable for our campus because it would exclude over 50% of our eligible staff.

 

       Part II:  Funds under Part II (no less than 25% of the total grant allocation) may be used to award    personnel who have contributed to increase student achievement (but are not eligible for Part I Funds).
