The Academy of Alameda Board of Directors votes to approve exempt employees such as Classified/Executive Cabinet, Administrative and Supervisory/Confidential/Licensed who hold a Doctoral degree related to the field of education as identified by the Executive Director, additional compensation of $2,100.00 (Two Thousand and One Hundred Dollars) as a stipend added on to their current annual salary each year. The stipend amount will increase each year by the amount of the California state COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment). The stipend is not included in the employee's annual salary and may be processed separately from regular earnings. This becomes effective July 1, 2024.
To qualify for the advanced degree stipend, the degree must be attained by the beginning of the school year, August 1. Employees must submit proof of attainment of the degree to the HR department. Stipends will not be paid until sufficient documentation is presented and will not be paid retroactively.
The Academy of Alameda Board of Directors also directs leadership to begin investigating the possibility of the addition of a Master's degree stipend for employees.
