American Teachers could receive up to $2,000 in bonus checks from the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) in North Carolina, as a scheme has been consented for this.
“LETRS professional learning bonus” is the name of the project that WCPSS is projecting to give bonus checks for a grand total of $16 million.
This includes the following:
- Elementary school English as a second language (ESL) teachers
- K-5 teachers
- Instruction specialists
- Exceptional education instructors who teach the regular curriculum
- Those in the WCPSS who participated in training from 2019 to 2020
- WCPSS intervention and teachers for Academically or intellectually gifted (AIG) students who participate from 2022 to 2024
Wake County school board votes to use $16 million in federal COVID aid to provide K-5 teachers up to $2,000 in bonuses to take state-mandated LETRS literacy training. Teachers have 160 hours of training over next 2 years. #wcpss #nced https://t.co/cWq6rxrg11 pic.twitter.com/9T2OrIxwal

Also, to qualify, eligible staff members must be working at the WCPSS on the first of the month that the bonus is paid.
And while K-5 teachers can be eligible for $2,000, they will only get $1,000 if they participate and do not achieve “mastery” in their modules, according to the WCPSS.
The available training units are described as 1-4 and 5-8.
Pre-K teachers only need to complete modules 1-4 to be eligible for a maximum $1,000 bonus.
