The Utah Legislature provides National Board Certified teachers with a $1,000 stipend every year they’re certified. 

A couple of years ago, it was negotiated that if both you and your spouse work for the district, both you and your spouse are eligible to receive insurance through the district. Both you and your spouse are signed up under one person, and then the district will pay 100% of your health and dental insurance premiums.

This is a benefit most other districts don’t have.

The Sick Leave Policy provides full pay in cases of illness and personal bereavement (no separate leave for bereavement).

• For the first 3 years of teaching you receive 7 “sick days” a year.

• After the 3 years, that goes up to 10 days.

• You can check your current balance on your pay stub or on Encore.

  • One day is considered 8 hours.

• The days are assumed on July 1, but accrued throughout the year.

  • If you leave the district mid year, you will have to pay back any used sick leave that had not yet been accrued.

Unused sick days will be accumulated, with no cap of how many you can accumulate.

• If you run out of sick leave, you may request an advance of up to 5 sick days.

  • Those days will be deducted from future sick day allotment.

  • If you leave the district before repaying advanced days, you will have to pay for the days out of your final paycheck.

Upon retirement, your sick hours are paid out at 21.5% of the value of the days to a health savings account.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no “contract time” in the negotiated agreement. What is in the contract is the following: “Full time educators agree to a regular seven and one half (7½) hour school day” (7.1.2[a]).

In the name of professionalism, follow your principal's direction on how early you arrive at school and how late you stay after school (as long as that window isn't longer than 7.5 hours).
