NOTES:
It’s very important that teachers follow the application instructions and complete with the correct information. If they have questions, have them contact their campus specialist if you are not able to help them.
Envelopes will be put on the “Pending” list until all documentations have been submitted. Teachers will receive an from their specialist if there is something missing. If teachers do not respond, the stipend envelope will remain on the list and the stipend will not be approved. No stipends envelopes will be approved without all required documentations and signatures.
No partial PL stipend will be given for number of hours of PL attendance. ESL teachers must complete 6 hrs. of PL session in order to qualify for the stipend as well as Stipend Reflections for each sessions they attended. Tell teachers to make a copy of their PL History for their records, and submit the copy along with any copies of the sessions missing on it in their envelope.
You as a LT can offer to bring them to the office, but designate date when you will be coming and let your teachers know. It is not your responsibility to deliver the stipend envelopes to our office, but you can offer to bring others when you come to bring yours. After that, teachers must make the trip themselves. (Unless specialist have stipend receipts with them, they cannot deliver the envelopes to the office.)
