TEACHER RETENTION PAYMENT
In her Condition of the State address on January 11, 2022, Governor Kim Reynolds announced that full-time classroom teachers in Iowa would receive a retention payment for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recognition of this work, and as a means of providing premium pay to our educators, the State of Iowa (State) will offer $1,000 to each full-time pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (PK-12) in-person classroom teacher who stayed on the job through the pandemic and continues teaching to the end of this school year.
Each district or school must complete a number of actions based on the agency administering the funds on behalf of the governor.
The Clear Creek Amana Community School District is very appreciative of all the hard work every staff member has done and is doing for our students. We know the last few years have been difficult but the work has not gone unnoticed. The “teacher retention payment plan” was meant to retain teachers and we are aware it does not cover all district staff but we are working to do what we can to remediate that.
