Contingency Plan Part I:

Money not awarded to qualifying staffs – 5% to staff development.
Money not awarded to qualifying staffs – 95% to teachers who return 2008-2009, not to exceed $10,000.

*** According to the Commissioner’s rules concerning the Governor’s Educator Excellence Award program each individual incentive should be no less than $3,000.00 and no more than $10,000.00 per teacher to the extent practicable. Due to our campus staff size of certified teachers who teach students daily in an academic setting that exceeds 4 hours, an award of $3,000.00 to $10,000.00 is not practicable for our campus because it would exclude over 50% of our eligible staff.

Part II: Funds under Part II (no less than 25% of the total grant allocation) may be used to award personnel who have contributed to increase student achievement (but are not eligible for Part I Funds).
