information, please refer to Payroll Concepts Manual, February 2021 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. Teacher Auxiliaries: Only Title I Schoolwide Program schools may purchase auxiliary teacher time for class size reduction in the core academic areas or intervention. The SPSA page description of the teacher auxiliary must include the subject area to be taught and the grade level. 38. Teacher Librarian: Only a Title I Schoolwide Program school may purchase a Teacher Librarian to support supplemental literacy activities. A minimum of four (4) days of Day-to-Day Substitute, Benefited Absence (Budget Item #13984) must be budgeted to cover the benefited absence of the Teacher Librarian purchased from 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).
