SPECIAL AREA TEACHER STIPEND PAYMENT FORM

Per the Contract Agreement between The Dearborn Board of Education and The Dearborn Federation of Teachers, payments to special area teachers in Elementary Music, Art, Physical Education, Media and Enrichment will be prorated according to student contact time. To obtain the stipend, the UNION MEMBER is solely responsible for completing and submitting the Stipend Payment Form accurately and within the timeline.

The Union member will submit a Stipend Payment Form to Human Resources based on the determination of the official class roster, which is 30 calendar days following the official count day.

The Stipend Payment form can only be submitted to Human Resources within 15 calendar days of the determination of the official class roster in order to receive payment. Any forms received by Human Resources prior to 30 calendar days following the official count day will be null and void.

This form must be completed by the Union member EACH Semester, if applicable.

Elementary class sizes will be based upon the following numbers:

KD 24 students per class

1 – 3 26 students per class

4 – 5 28 students per class

For Elementary Split Classes, excluding Montessori classrooms, class sizes will be based upon the following numbers:

K/1 & 1/2 20 students per class

2/3 22 students per class

3/4 23 students per class

4/5 24 students per class

The amounts per student were determined as follows:

  • There was a total of 169167.5 student days in the 200912/201013 calendar

1697.5/2 = 834.750 days per semester Round to 85 days for ease of calculations

  • Each elementary day is 415 minutes – 5448 minutes prep – 30 minutes lunch = 3317 minutes per day with students. Round to 3305 for ease of calculation
  • To calculate the cost per minute of a semester stipend:

$300 x 1semester x 1 day = $.01

1 semester 85 days 330 min

  • For a 45 minute class:

per student

So, for a student who attends a 45 minute class twice a week = $15.30

So, for a student who attends a 45 minute class three times a week = $22.95
