federal programs. When budgeting for this position, a differential for Teacher Librarian must be also budgeted (Budget Item #14112). 39. Time Reporting for Teacher Release Day/Hrs: For teachers not funded from Title I who attend any Title I or Title III funded activity (PD, grade level planning, student data analysis, classroom observations), their time reporters will pay the teachers who attended/participated in the activity for the day with Title I or Title III funds and pay the substitute who covered the class with the respective program code of the teacher they replaced. If a CSR teacher who is already funded from Title I attends a Title I funded activity, the school will not need to allocate Teacher Release Day/Hrs for him/her but will require the school to allocate funds to pay for the substitute. For the payment of a substitute who covers for a Title I-funded (7S046) teacher, the Budget Item # is 10378, Teacher Release Day – Day to Day Substitute for Categorically-Funded teacher (TCH REL DTD SUB CAT) Substitutes may not be purchased for the purpose of releasing teachers for curricular trips or for providing intervention. Since the Teacher Release Day/Hrs. is budgeted per hour, if a teacher is attending a Title I/Title III funded activity, the school can choose to pay for part of the day (by hours). 40. Title I-Funded CSR Teachers Who Cover Classes: Secondary class-size reduction teachers who cover classes during their conference period must be paid with the same funding source as the teacher of record (the teacher that is being replaced). 41. Tutoring: When a regular status teacher/coach/coordinator/librarian/counselor tutors or provides intervention to students outside of the basic assignment, i.e., afterschool, Saturdays, the following descriptions and Budget Item Numbers must be used: • Tutor Teacher X-Time – Budget Item #10376 (classroom teacher/coach*) • Coordinator X-Time (Tutor)* - Budget Item #14691 • Librarian X-Time (Tutor)* - Budget Item #14699 • Counselor X-Time (Tutor) – Budget Item #14687 *For positions with differentials, the person cannot be paid until after their regular assigned day. Note: When using Title III funds, schools must form classes solely comprised of EL students. 42. Clerical Positions: A school may purchase positions from the combination of office technician/senior office technician positions, and the office(s) in need of support must be included in the SPSA with a detailed description of how this position will support the Title I program. 43. Clerical Relief/X/Z-Time: Custodial Overtime (OT)/Relief and Clerical OT/Relief are unallowable expenditure in the Title I Program (7S046, 70S46, 7T691, 7E046). Schools may still budget Clerical X/Z-Time in Title I (7S046, 70S46, 7E046). Refer to the Classified Employee Handbook or Payroll Services for the correct usage of Clerical X/Z-Time. Please be aware that Clerical X/Z-time is not paid at time and a half. Clerical X/Z-time is generally paid for clerical staff on unassigned days or if the person is not an 8-hour/day employee. If a clerical employee works a regular work week (40 hours per week) and works on a Saturday, it is considered Clerical OT (which is not allowed in the Title I program). Schools that have payroll charges in Clerical/Custodial OT will be required to pay back with general funds.
