MAYACAMAS

At Mayacamas Countywide Middle School, we provide our teachers and staff with a competitive compensation and benefits package. Moreover, what we promise is an amazing environment for our teachers and staff, providing an opportunity to be part of an exciting adventure building a school from the ground up.  In addition, there is professional development time built into the regular schedule, so that you can focus on the challenges of differentiated and highly-individualized learning for our diverse student population, and for full-time teachers a 90 minute preparation period each day. 

 

Full-time teachers are expected to teach two 90-minute course blocks each day and cover two of the following additional alternative periods: Advisory or Learning Lab, and “X” period (7:55-8:40) or lunch/break supervision.  Part-time teachers are expected to cover one alternative period, all of which is designated by the Head of School in consultation with you.

 

We provide teacher salary and benefits approximately as described below. Actual salaries take into consideration numerous factors, including but not limited to years of experience (and whether that experience is full or part-time), masters or doctorate in field relevant to the role, hard to fill roles [e.g., SpEd ], bi-lingual/BCLAD, and extra assignments. We will also consider Cost of Living Adjustments each year based on numerous factors, including the school’s budget and financial stability, market conditions, the California Governor’s COLA designation and state and federal funding.

We expect to begin school in mid-August and end in mid-June, and therefore the teaching year will begin in early August through mid to late June, depending on the school calendar for that year.  In addition to their regular salary, teachers and certain staff may receive one to two weeks of paid professional development (required training) that might occur during the first two summers of the school’s launch (2024 and 2025) and one to two weeks of paid professional development each summer thereafter, for dates outside the teaching year.

 

*Subject to minimum exempt salary requirements under California law

**Once a teacher reaches the maximum salary as set forth above, Mayacamas may choose to provide the teacher with one-time annual payments rather than an increase in annual salary.
