The 1,400-plus Idaho educators who applied for a salary incentive known as master educator premiums will be learning whether they will receive the money tonight.

The State Board of Education will send out word some time Monday evening.

The Idaho Press reports, once applicants are notified, money will be sent to the recipients’ schools and distributed via local payroll systems, state officials have said.

The new master educator premiums are designed to reward Idaho’s highest-performing veteran teachers. The state is providing $4,000 per year — renewable for three years — to educators who meet the program’s requirements.

In order to obtain a premium, educators must have at least eight years of classroom experience and submit a detailed portfolio documenting evidence of mastery.
