New Updates

State Changes this year.  Extended Day Full time is 20 hours per month and Part time is 10 hours per month.  The state is checking more closely than ever since this is Federal allowances so we need to make sure that we follow the guidelines carefully. 

• Every teacher must have a CTAERN account that is updated with their current pathway information

• CTAE Extended Day Grant cannot be used for Middle School teachers, per State Board Rule 160-4-3-.11

• Building administrators cannot receive CTAE Extended Day.  

• Extended Day Grant is for full-time High School CTAE teachers of record.

• CTAE Extended Day is not required for all CTAE teachers or for all CTSO advisors.

• New teachers to the Griffin-Spalding County School District have the option of becoming an advisor during their second year with the district, as much of the first year will be spent mastering pedagogical skills and district processes. (Does not apply to teachers with prior CTSO Advisor experience.). 

• To have multiple Extended Day Teachers for a CTSO, you must have more than 10 students.  

• If you are not completing your POW requirements you may not receive pay for that time period until you are able to complete the work.  If you complete less than 90% of your POW for the year, you will be placed on a Plan of Action. If this happens for more than one year, you will not eligible for extended day funds for the next year.
