Stipends
A revised stipend structure for teachers and campus leaders will be paired with roll-out of the evolved priority support programs, as the district will continue to leverage TIA funds to incent effective teachers to join our PTE, SSS, and SSHS schools.
The 48 existing ACE and HPC schools not identified for participation in the PTE, SSS, and SSHS programs will transition to “graduate” status for the 2025-2026 school year. Employees at the graduate campuses will receive a modified one-year bridge stipend for the 2025-2026 school year only. An early reporting date or additional hour commitments are not required for the ACE and HPC graduate stipends in 2025-2026.
The roster of 2025-2026 campuses with District Support Initiative (DSI) classification can be found here.
To support understanding of the DSI framework, including the revised leader and teacher stipends structure, a webinar is available here.
