It’s close enough! – contact hours • #1 effect to reimbursement is contact hours • If no board approved policy, DUE THE MATH
What’s my salary – Actual vs Annual • Annual – employee contract • Actual – amount payroll pays, July 1 – June 30 • Calculates with the lower amount • Make sure to enter both
To group or not to group - contracting • DON’T GROUP • Claim each class separately • Just because district paid for it, does not make it claimable • Make sure to have MOU or contract
DCTS? – Designated Career and Tech School • DCTS vs Non-DCTS • Different administrative cost rates • Cannot claim costs if no administrator • DCTS must have at least 1 credentialed CTE director and specialist
CTE teacher? - credentialing • Check to make sure • Must be correct cluster or pathway • https://edx.cde.state.co.us/PublicEducatorSearch/FirstLastSearch.jsp
I do administrator work!– administrators/specialist • Must hold credential • If you are both a teacher and administrator, contract must include separate duties, time and money • Cannot claim cost without an administrator
2 – work enrollment • Class where a student receives credit outside of the classroom • Internships
How about those aides – Para Pros • Non-credentialed employees • Must work directly with the CTE students • Counselor, librarian, computer lab
Let’s talk about tech – other costs • What are other departments spending money on? • Wiring, labs, servers, software
