WAGE$
WAGE$ is a salary supplement program for early educators who meet education, pay, and longevity requirements. Its purpose is to decrease staff turnover and support educators who are working in a field with historically low pay.
Supplement amounts are determined based on the teacher’s education level. Teachers who increase their educational level may be eligible for a higher-level supplement. WAGE$ supplements are given twice a year, with the total amount split into two payments.
