Instructional 12-Month Option

The instructional 12-month option will pay teachers throughout the summer instead of a 10-month period. The annual salary/contract is the same under both plans. The 12-month option simply spreads this contract over 12 months instead of 10 months. If you wish to sign up for the 12-month option plan you may enroll through employee self-service during the enrollment period. The deadline for making any changes on ESS for the 12-month option is mid- to late-June each school year. PLEASE NOTE: Any changes you make to your 12-month option enrollment will not take effect until the first check of the following school year.
