Extra Pay Stipend Payment Schedule – Letter Of Agreement

The Dearborn Board of Education (hereinafter referred to as the Board), and the Dearborn Federation of Teachers (hereinafter referred to as the Union), whereas the above mentioned parties agree as follows:

To increase accuracy and reduce the processing errors due to changes in staff assignments, non-athletic extra pay assignment stipends will be paid twice each year in January and June.

Since payments are generated via an auto-pay system frequent errors occurred.  Following are examples of errors that have resulted in teachers not receiving the stipend and/or teachers being required to repay the District after being paid inaccurately.    

  • Teachers assigned to an extra pay position and going on FMLA or becoming an administrative intern. Schools submit this information to HR in the beginning of the year.  However, HR does not always receive updated information as extra pay assignments unexpectedly change.

  • Teachers and administrators have verbal agreements to split an assignment, but this isn’t reflected on the stipend sheet submitted to HR.  

This agreement will apply until the expiration of the 2013-18 contract.  

Middle School Faculty Managers

Athletic Directors at middle schools were an optional extra pay assignment during the 2016-17 school year. This option has been eliminated and replaced with a Faculty Manager, which is not an extra pay assignment option. Principals should give their staff an opportunity to apply directly to them. If positions are not filled by a building staff member, the position will be posted to the DFT via HR. See below for a description of the Faculty Manager position. Please note other additional extra pay assignments have been added to the DFT (7th grade volleyball, 7th grade boys basketball, & 7th grade girls basketball).
