Clarification About Teacher Salary Supplement

This message only applies to staff members in the Certified Union group (e.g., consultants, psychologists, social workers, PLLCs, OTs, PTs, etc.).

Recently several staff members have asked questions about their paycheck amounts, concerned that they look different from what they expected based on the previous year’s checks.

This year what was formerly Teacher Quality and Phase has been combined and is called Teacher Salary Supplement (TSS). It is included as salary and distributed in every check. In the past, TQCF and Phase monies were separate from the salary schedule and distributed October through June. In all cases when base salary, TSS and any applicable stipends were applied, all employees did receive a total wage increase of some amount.
