Multi-funded personnel must document actual time, and that time must support cost distribution to each program, including District services. 35. Teacher Assistants: provides services under the direct supervision of a credentialed classroom teacher. The TA is budgeted per the number of hours, the number of days and the percent funded.

Teacher Assistants Paid Non-Working Days (PNWD): Teacher Assistants Paid Non Working Days (PNWD): Teacher Assistant employees do not receive vacation and illness benefits like other employees. Instead, they accrue generic days off called “Paid Non-Working Days” or PNWD. It is recommended that schools allocate separately for PNWDs under budget item #14895. While the vast majority of Title I-funded teacher assistants have a "Degree Track" status which accrue .0445 credit hour for each hour of paid service, there are still some Non-degree Track Teacher Assistants that may accrue .0167 hour instead. Please be mindful of these charges as each individual school's PNWD usage may vary. Should there be an overdraft in the Title I program because of these charges, the school’s general funds will be affected through payback. For additional information, please refer to Payroll Concepts Manual, February 2017 and 2014-2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement Unit F (Teacher Assistants). In addition to PNWDs, schools should allocate for their Teacher Assistants that have bilingual differentials under Budget Item #11728. Title I payroll overdraft caused by unallocated teacher differentials may result in general fund payback. Source: Payroll Concepts Manual, February 2021 37.
