Highly Qualified Teacher Sample Clauses

Highly Qualified Teacher. The Board and the Association recognize that federal and state law requires certain teachers to be "highly qualified" (HQ) as defined by law and the Ohio Department of Education. The law also requires the Board to develop a plan ensuring that these certain teachers will become HQ. The parties agree that teachers shall be given at least one (1) year from the time they are notified, or otherwise in good faith should have become aware, that they are not HQ to take the necessary steps to become HQ as required by law. To comply with such statutes, requirements, and agreement, the parties agree to the following: 1. The Association and the Administration shall inform the bargaining unit members that it is their individual responsibility to make sure they are highly qualified according to law. Also, that each member shall update his/her Individual Professional Development Plan to reflect his/her efforts to become highly qualified. 2. The Administration will make reasonable efforts to make unit members aware of current and new definitions, interpretations, and standards of the law that may affect their standing as a Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT). 3. The Administration shall provide professional development opportunities for teachers to become "highly qualified", which shall include, but not be limited to: a. priority placement for fee waivers and tuition reimbursement. 4. Should the teacher choose the option of taking the Praxis II / Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) subject area test(s) to become highly qualified, the district shall cover the cost of the test(s) only once. 5. In addition, the Administration may assist the teacher in becoming a Highly Qualified Teacher in the following ways: a. A voluntary or involuntary transfer into an open position which would provide a Highly Qualified Teacher designation. 6. While there are currently no consequences, at the state or federal level, for failure to obtain Highly Qualified status, the parties agree that should the state and/or federal governments dictate to the Board that the Board will lose federal and/or state funding if certain identified unit members continue to teach without having Highly Qualified status, or if the state and/or federal government otherwise does not permit the professional-staff member to continue in his/her assignment without financial consequence to the district that is more than nominal or to its Treasurer (i.e., a risk of finding for recovery), the following shall occur: a.

This removal authority will not apply to a teacher who is involuntarily transferred by the Superintendent into a position for which they are not highly qualified.

  • Qualified HSA Funding Distribution If you are eligible to contribute to a health savings account (HSA), you may be eligible to take a one-time tax-free HSA funding distribution from your IRA and directly deposit it to your HSA.

  • Tax Credit for Contributions You may be eligible to receive a tax credit for your IRA contributions. This credit will be allowed in addition to any tax deduction that may apply, and may not exceed $1,000 in a given year. You may be eligible for this tax credit if you are • age 18 or older as of the close of the taxable year, • not a dependent of another taxpayer, and • not a full-time student. The credit is based upon your income (see chart below), and will range from 0 to 50 percent of eligible contributions. In order to determine the amount of your contributions, add all of the contributions made to your IRA and reduce these contributions by any distributions that you have taken during the testing period. The testing period begins two years prior to the year for which the credit is sought and ends on the tax return due date (including extensions) for the year for which the credit is sought. In order to determine your tax credit, multiply the applicable percentage from the chart below by the amount of your contributions that do not exceed $2,000. *Adjusted gross income (AGI) includes foreign earned income and income from Guam, America Samoa, North Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico. AGI limits are subject to cost-of-living adjustments each year.

  • Non-Qualified Stock Options The Options granted hereunder are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options or Qualified Stock Options.

  • Safe Harbor The recipient government will then compare the reporting year’s actual tax revenue to the baseline. If actual tax revenue is greater than the baseline, Treasury will deem the recipient government not to have any recognized net reduction for the reporting year, and therefore to be in a safe harbor and outside the ambit of the offset provision. This approach is consistent with the ARPA, which contemplates recoupment of Fiscal Recovery Funds only in the event that such funds are used to offset a reduction in net tax revenue. If net tax revenue has not been reduced, this provision does not apply. In the event that actual tax revenue is above the baseline, the organic revenue growth that has occurred, plus any other revenue-raising changes, by definition must have been enough to offset the in-year costs of the covered changes.

  • Investment of Contributions At the direction of the Depositor (or the direction of the beneficiary upon the Depositor's death), the Custodian shall invest all contributions to the account and earnings thereon in investments acceptable to the Custodian, which may include marketable securities traded on a recognized exchange or "over the counter" (excluding any securities issued by the Custodian), covered call options, certificates of deposit, and other investments to which the Custodian consents, in such amounts as are specifically selected and specified by the Depositor in orders to the Custodian in such form as may be acceptable to the Custodian, without any duty to diversify and without regard to whether such property is authorized by the laws of any jurisdiction as a trust investment. The Custodian shall be responsible for the execution of such orders and for maintaining adequate records thereof. However, if any such orders are not received as required, or, if received, are unclear in the opinion of the Custodian, all or a portion of the contribution may be held uninvested without liability for loss of income or appreciation, and without liability for interest pending receipt of such orders or clarification, or the contribution may be returned. The Custodian may, but need not, establish programs under which cash deposits in excess of a minimum set by it will be periodically and automatically invested in interest-bearing investment funds. The Custodian shall have no duty other than to follow the written investment directions of the Depositor, and shall be under no duty to question said instructions and shall not be liable for any investment losses sustained by the Depositor.
