Tuition Reimbursement

Updated June 1, 2026

Tuition reimbursement for licensed staff has been temporarily suspended for the 2026-2027 school year.

 

Qualifications

  1. Licensed employees are eligible to apply for tuition reimbursement.
  2. To qualify for tuition reimbursement, a licensed employee must have received an effective or highly effective rating in their final evaluation. Teachers who are on an improvement plan or facing a salary freeze due to an ineffective rating are not eligible for this reimbursement.

Application Guidelines

1.    To request reimbursement, submit your application to Human Resources by June 1st. Applications will be reviewed to determine whether eligibility requirements have been met. Approved reimbursements will be paid out in June of the current fiscal year. Your application must include the following:
     a.    A completed application form for each course you are requesting reimbursement for. (One form per course — for example, if requesting reimbursement for two courses, submit two forms.)
     b.    Receipt of payment must be an official university document, showing the total tuition amount paid per class.
     c.    Proof of completion (official transcript)


2.    Eligible coursework is only for the current school year/hiring year (Summer 2025/Fall 2025/Spring 2026 Semester).


3.    Tuition reimbursement can only be applied for the following:
The tuition and fees for:
     •    graduate level courses only
     •    professional development college classes
     •    No more than $1,000 will be reimbursed to any one employee for any one budget (fiscal) year (July 1 - June 30).
     •    Should the request for total reimbursement be greater than the dollars designated by the Board of Education, the dollar amount available for reimbursement per individual will be prorated accordingly.
4.    All incomplete applications will be returned.
5.    All submissions must be legible and converted into a PDF format.
6.    Email all submissions and attachments to Denise.Absalom@tsd.org with the subject line "Tuition Reimbursement"

If reimbursement is approved, payment will be mailed as a paper check to your home address. Please ensure your current address is accurate in the system.

Submit Paperwork

Please submit all paperwork as a PDF or scanned copy. The form is a fillable PDF, so first download it to your computer. Complete the form and save it. Then, in an email, attach the completed form, your tuition receipt (showing that payment for the class has been completed), and a copy of your official transcript for the class.
