Deadline for Submission of Teacher's Choice Outstanding Accountability Form
Teacher’s Choice funding was distributed to all eligible school staff members in their paychecks beginning November 28. As noted in the Teacher’s Choice Program: Guidelines and Procedures, participants are required to use these funds to purchase instructional materials and supplies for their classrooms. In the February 3 edition of Principals’ Weekly, you were informed that your staff had to use Teacher’s Choice funds by February 28 and to submit a Teacher’s Choice Accountability Form with proof of eligible purchases (i.e. original receipts and/or invoices) to you or your designee by March 2. If a Teacher’s Choice participant failed to submit an Accountability Form by the deadline, you or your designee must complete an Outstanding Accountability Report to inform the NYCDOEof all participants at your school who did not submit an Accountability Form and/or who did not spend part or all of the funds received by March 16. This report is used by the NYCDOE to recoup unused or improperly used Teacher’s Choice funds by way of a salary deduction, which will occur in the June 30 payroll.
