Common use of Master Teacher Stipend Clause in Contracts

Master Teacher Stipend. The purpose of the Master Teacher stipend is to reward effective teaching, length of service in Seymour Community Schools and teaching experience. In order to qualify for the Master Teacher stipend, a teacher must: (1) have ten (10) consecutive years in the Seymour Community Schools; (2) have received an evaluation rating of highly effective or effective for the school year preceding the payment of the Master Teacher stipend; (3) provide a written election notice to the Business Office by June 30th of the school year immediately preceding the school year in which the teacher would receive his/her first Master Teacher stipend. Any teacher who has applied for and been granted career increment under any prior Seymour Community Schools’ Master Teacher Contract preceding the 2014-2015 Master Teacher Contract will be grandfathered under the former career increment provisions that were in effect prior to the effective date of the 2014-2015 Master Teacher Contract and these teachers shall not be entitled to apply for or receive any Master Teacher Stipend under this section. The annual Master Teacher stipend is $1,200.00, which payment is based upon the following two factors: (1) 67% is based upon the teacher receiving an evaluation rating of highly effective or effective for the school year preceding the year in which the Master Teacher stipend is received; and (2) 33% is based upon the teacher’s length of service and teaching experience in Seymour Community Schools. A teacher who meets all requirements to earn a Master Teacher stipend may earn a maximum of five (5) annual $1,200.00 Master Teacher stipends throughout a consecutive five (5) year period. The five (5) year consecutive period within which a qualifying teacher will be permitted to receive a Master Teacher stipend will begin the school year that the teacher receives the first Master Teacher stipend (which will be the school year following the teacher providing his/her written election notice) and will conclude at the end of the 5th consecutive year thereafter. A teacher can have the opportunity to earn a maximum of one $1,200.00 Master Teacher stipend in any single school year. To illustrate, if a teacher provides his/her written election notice to the Business Office by June 30, 2022 and if the teacher receives an evaluation rating of highly effective or effective for the 2021-2022 school year and has at least ten (10) consecutive years in the Seymour Community Schools, then the teacher will qualify to receive his/her first Master Teacher stipend during the 2022-2023 school year. Under this example, the five (5) year consecutive period during which the teacher would be eligible to receive a Master Teacher stipend would commence during the 2022-2023 school year and would conclude at the end of the 2026-2027 school year. In any year during the consecutive 5 year period that all eligibility requirements are not met, the teacher will forfeit the Master Teacher stipend for the following school year. To illustrate, using the example above, if that same teacher receives an evaluation rating of ineffective or needs improvement during the 2022-2023 school year, then the teacher would not receive a Master Teacher stipend during the 2023- 2024 school year because he/she would have failed to receive a qualifying evaluation the previous school year. However, if the teacher receives an evaluation rating of highly effective or effective for the 2023-2024 school year, then the teacher will be eligible to receive a Master Teacher stipend during the 2024-2025 school year because the teacher would have received a qualifying evaluation during the preceding school year. Under no circumstances will a teacher be permitted to earn more than one $1,200.00 Master Teacher stipend during any single school year in which he/she is eligible to receive a Master Teacher stipend. In addition, under no circumstances will a teacher be permitted to receive a Master Teacher stipend if the teacher has not received a final evaluation rating for the previous school year. For example, if a teacher would be on leave during a school year and the teacher would not receive a final evaluation rating for that school year, then the teacher would not qualify to receive a Master Teacher stipend the following school year. Also, evaluations cannot be finalized until all State data that is incorporated into the Seymour evaluation tool has been received by Seymour Community Schools. Therefore, no Master Teacher stipends may be paid in any given school year until all State data from the preceding school year has been received by the Seymour Community Schools and evaluations can be finalized for the preceding school year. If the teacher would separate employment with the Seymour Community Schools for any reason prior to the end of the continuous five (5) year period, then the teacher will forfeit the opportunity to be paid any additional Master Teacher stipends following the separation of the teacher’s employment from Seymour Community Schools. A teacher who meets the criteria to receive a Master Teacher Stipend will receive the stipend payment in one lump sum no earlier than September 1 and no later than 60 days after the teacher is notified of his/her final evaluation rating for the preceding school year, whichever comes later.
