Training Stipend Fund. The District will support training efforts by creating a Training Stipend Fund. This fund will supplement other monies available to support training and be available for training that is designated by the District. This Stipend Fund will provide compensation for Teachers enrolled in trainings that align with current District initiatives. Training that qualifies for compensation will be determined on an annual basis by the District and will apply only for that contract year. Training that is District-initiated will qualify for payment out of this fund. Training that is initiated at the building may receive approval for payment if such training is aligned with current District initiatives, and if prior approval is granted by the Assistant Superintendent of Learning Services. Questions about whether a training qualifies under this section that are not resolved otherwise by the Assistant Superintendent of Learning Services will be determined by the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, whose decision will be final. An individual Teacher qualifies for a stipend at the rate of $150 per seven (7) hour day for trainings that meet the above criteria and where the training occurs outside of the Teacher’s normal work hours, or on other than a normal work day. For shorter trainings, the stipend will be prorated. Training for which a stipend is paid may not also be used as credit for horizontal advancement on the salary schedule. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require that an offered training is mandatory. Prior to making such professional development offerings, Learning Services shall create a District-wide communication that explains the availability of payment under Section 11.17.1, and the procedures for requesting such payment.
