21-13-324. Teacher extra compensation adjustment to district total amount per ADM.

(a) A district may pay extra compensation to a teacher as necessary to employ teachers for providing educational programs at locations which because of their unique circumstances require additional pay. Extra compensation under this section:

(i) Shall not reflect district preference for higher salaries;

(ii) Shall be payment for performing regular duties and not be payment for performing any additional duties assigned to the teacher;

(iii) May be in the form of subsidized expenses other than rent or housing allowances, a cash bonus or a combination.

(b) If compensation is paid to the teacher for costs other than rent or housing allowances, the school district shall provide information to the state department describing the difference in the amount paid by the teacher and the average comparable market rate within the county for the subsidized cost.

(c) Upon application by a district upon a form prescribed and provided by the state department, the department shall reimburse the district from the foundation account for extra compensation paid pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, administered as if the district's total foundation program amount computed under W.S. 21-13-309(p) was increased by the amount of extra compensation paid during the preceding year. The department shall require the district to document the need for extra compensation payments.
