3220.02 - SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS FOR TEACHERS

The School Board authorizes the Superintendent to issue a supplemental payment in excess of the salary specified in the School Corporation's compensation plan to any teacher at the discretion of the Superintendent when doing so is in the best interest of the Corporation's students.

A supplemental payment under this policy is not subject to collective bargaining. Under I.C. 20-29-6-3(d), the Corporation may exclude, for this purpose, a portion of the revenue available for bargaining from education fund revenues included in I.C. 20-29-2-6. To utilize this exclusion, the Board must pass before September 15 of any year a one (1) or two (2) year resolution indicating that a portion or percentage of education fund revenue allocated for supplemental fund payments under I.C. 20-28-9-1.5(a) is not considered education fund revenue for the purposes of I.C. 20-29-6-3(a). The resolution shall not extend beyond the end of the corresponding State budget biennium.
