<div dir="ltr">At RSU 50 we have an additional $2,000 built into our salary schedule for Special Ed Teachers and an additional $.50 per hour for Special Ed Ed Techs that work in our life skills/ behavior rooms. We have done this due to the fact that we now house all of our students with major behavior needs within special contained classrooms rather than sending them to Private Purpose Schools. This model has worked well for us and our students and saved the district money in the long run. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 8, 2025 at 8:18 AM Dawn Fickett <<a href="mailto:dfickett@msad37.org">dfickett@msad37.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">We do not pay any additional stipends to special ed staff beyond contracted salaries.<div>Dawn</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 8, 2025 at 8:13 AM Andrea Disch <<a href="mailto:adisch@msad11.org" target="_blank">adisch@msad11.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><p><span style="font-family:garamond,"times new roman",serif;font-size:large">I am reaching out to gather information regarding how districts structure compensation for special education personnel.
