Supplemental Pay – Time Responsibility and Incentive (TRI). The District and Association agree and affirm the following beliefs: (a) the success of the Xxxxxx School District is dependent upon hiring and retaining the highest quality teacher: (b) providing a quality education for students requires from teachers a commitment to the profession beyond the base contract, normal workday hours and school year; (c) state law allows additional compensation for additional time, additional responsibilities or incentives (TRI); (d) the additional commitment required of Xxxxxx’x teachers cannot be accurately measured in hours or days; and (e) the time necessary to fulfill any one teacher’s responsibilities will vary from one to another teacher as determined by the individual’s own professional judgment. Each employee shall be issued a supplemental contract in recognition of these additional responsibilities and as an incentive to provide the additional services. Payment will be made in equal monthly installments as is done with regular paychecks. A part-time employee will receive a pro rata share of the TRI supplemental contract stipend based on the employee’s full- time equivalency (FTE). The supplemental contract recognizes that employees will provide a professionally responsible level of service in the following areas, which are above the basic contract.
