Contingency Plan Part I:
- Any money not awarded in Criterion I, Part I will be equally distributed to qualifying teachers in Criterion III, towards Teacher Attendance.
- Any money not used in Criterion II, Part I will be equally distributed to qualifying teachers in Criterion III, towards Teacher Tutorials.
- Any staff member that receives a promotion or retire during the 2007-08 school year will still receive the incentive pay.
- Staff member not returning to GPISD will not receive the incentive pay.
- The remaining balance of $50 in Part I will be distributed evenly in Criterion I.
- The maximum awards for any teacher will not exceed $10,000.
*** 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).
