TEACHER'S CHOICE MONEY IN OUR ACCOUNTS

Teachers received their $250 Teacher's Choice money in the November 30 paychecks. We have until January 14, 2018 to spend the money. Don't forget those accountability forms too. Make sure to save those receipts which is trouble for some.

Here are the details from the December 1, 2017 Chapter Leader Newsletter.

Teacher’s Choice spending deadline is approaching

Alert your members that Jan. 14 is the deadline for spending Teacher’s Choice funds. Eligible UFT members should have received their Teacher’s Choice allotments ($250 for teachers and other amounts for other eligible titles) in their Nov. 30 paychecks. Members should submit their receipts, along with the Teacher’s Choice Accountability Form  detailing their purchases, by Jan. 14 to their principal or to their payroll secretary. If a member received Teacher’s Choice funds and does not file an accountability form with the required receipts by the Jan. 14 deadline, that member will be obligated to pay back the money to the DOE. Educators in the ATR pool should submit their receipts to the administration of the school to which they are assigned on Jan. 19, 2018. For more detailed information about the Teacher’s Choice program, go to the Teacher’s Choice section of the UFT website.
