SALARY
BONUS
PAYMENTS
Pursuant to Section 1012.72, Florida Statutes, the Dale Hickam Excellent Teaching Program,
please be advised that funds for payment of the annual salary bonus for qualified National Board
Certified Teachers will be forthcoming. The funds will be sent via electronic funds transfer to
the finance office of each school district.
The salary bonus for the 2006-2007 school year is based on a calculation of 10% of the previous
year’s state-wide average teacher’s salary, which is $4,270.20. In addition to this amount,
7.65%, or $326.67, will be disbursed for FICA; and 9.85%, or $420.62, will be disbursed for
retirement. The total amount that will be disbursed for each qualified National Board Certified
Teacher (NBCT) is $5,017.49. The district shall determine the individual withholding for each
NBCT, make the appropriate deductions, and pay the remaining bonus to each teacher.
If further clarification is needed regarding the transfer of funds, please do not hesitate to contact
the Department of Education Comptroller’s Office at 850-245-0401. If you have questions
related to the Dale Hickam Excellent Teaching Program, please contact Crystal Spikes at 850-
