Mentor Teachers
Payments to teachers who serve as mentors do
count toward pensionable salary for purposes of the teachers'
retirement system.
Teachers
who have earned additional pay as mentors should check their annual
State Teachers' Retirement Board (STRB) Member Statement to ensure that
such payments were reported by the district to the STRB and included in
the "pensionable salary" column on the statement in any year such
payment was earned. If it was not reported, teachers are advised to
have their district send a letter to the STRB informing them of this
payment immediately so that mandatory contributions that should have
been withheld (and accrued interest) can be calculated and billed to
the teacher by the STRB. It is important for each affected
teacher to
follow-up directly with the STRB to ensure that they have received the
necessary information and that corrections have been made.
