Other Supplemental Compensation
Teaching during Planning Period
A teacher may volunteer to forego his/her planning period during the contract day and, if
approved, be compensated for the additional class period taught by the teacher during that
time frame. The amount of the supplement is calculated based on the length of the additional
period taught and is based on the teacher’s base hourly rate exclusive of any referendum. The
following illustrates the calculation but does not preclude the development of other scheduling
scenarios:
• Seven (7) periods in a seven period day = 14%
• Seven (7) periods in an eight period day = 12%
Supplement for Additional Work in the IB/CAT/PCCA Program
A. Provided that the provisions in Section B are satisfied, a teacher assigned to teach in one of
the IB / CAT or PCCA programs held at St. Petersburg High School, Palm Harbor University
High School, Lakewood High School, Gibbs High School and Largo High School is entitled to
receive a supplement in the amount of 14% as compensation for the additional duties and
responsibilities required of teachers in these programs. The amount is based on the
teacher’s base hourly rate exclusive of any referendum and is payable notwithstanding the fact
that the teacher may retain planning time during the contract day. An IB/CAT or PCCA teacher
may not earn an additional supplement for “Teaching during Planning Period,” as stated
above.
B. The principal of the school must annually verify that the teacher teaches full time in the IB,
CAT or PCCA program. The amount of the additional work related to the IB/CAT or PCCA
program for which the additional compensation applies will be recorded in a “coaching log”
and the teacher must record a minimum of 80 hours of work during his/her planning period or
outside of the contractual day per semester in order to earn the supplement.
Completion of Reading Programs
Instructional staff members that complete the CAR-PD training program of 150 hours will be
provided a one-time two hundred fifty dollar ($250) fixed supplement. Instructional staff
members who add the reading endorsement to their teaching credentials will be provided a
one-time five hundred dollar ($500) fixed supplement provide they are actively engaged in
teaching reading during their regular work day. These fixed supplements are contingent upon
the District’s continued receipt of tax referendum revenue.
