TEACHER STIPEND PROGRAM
The GHE PTA has elected to utilize funds raised by their membership to grant stipends to all classroom and specials teachers. The stipend amount is set at the beginning of each school year and will remain the same until the end of that school year. The amounts do not fluctuate up or down with changes in classroom enrollment.
2022-23 Teachers have a maximum reimbursable budget of $100 ($200 for specials)
