Tuition Reimbursement 

The Office of Organizational Effectiveness processes tuition reimbursement for all certified teachers and support staff.  Tuition will be reimbursed at the rate designated by your union for job-related coursework that will enhance the skills and performance of the unit employee. Tuition reimbursement is provided on a first come first serve basis, each union has a specific amount allocated on a yearly basis. Permanent, benefit eligible employees can participate in this program.
