Retro Checks!

2/25/2020

0 Comments

 
The retro checks have arrived since last week!

If you are on steps 15-25, you will receive an additional check mid-March because your check does not have the full retro amount. This was a district error and is being fixed. The underpayment is less than $100 for most members with this error.

Yay 2%.

Teachers need to create an account. Then they will choose the course DPR 101 and enroll. They will have 90 days to complete the course upon enrolling. After completing the 25 minute course, they will take a final exam and they must pass with a 70% or higher. They have to do the training every year.
