Faculty Associates are a paid a stipend of $675.00 for those assigned to the seventh and eighth grade program of three overnight stays, or/or $450 for those assigned to the fifth and sixth grade program of two overnight stays. The stipend will be administered through the Additional Pay process and paid on the employee’s next monthly check following completion of the Outdoor Ed Program. The actual payment date will be based on the dates of the Outdoor Ed Program and the payroll cut off dates. Prior approval is required from the building principal for any faculty associate requesting an exemption from all or part of their Outdoor Ed Program assignment. If an exemption is granted and the faculty associate is not present for the entire Outdoor Ed stay, the stipend will be prorated accordingly.
