Clinton Public School District

The Clinton Public School District’s Board of Trustees recently enacted a measure to increase the supplement given to educators who are National Board Certified.

In alignment with the district’s strategic plan’s goal of recruiting and retaining top-tier educators, the CPSD Board of Trustees approved an increase to the National Board Certified Teacher supplement by 50%, adding an additional $3,000 to the existing annual supplement of $6,000. 

The new annual NBCT supplement of $9,000 will go into effect during the 2025-2026 school year.

CPSD Superintendent Dr. Andy Schoggin said the board’s decision is reflective of the district’s belief that investing in highly qualified educators directly enhances student outcomes and strengthens schools. 

By maintaining low administrative costs, we ensure that our financial resources are strategically allocated where they matter most—our classrooms and school-level educators,” Dr. Schoggin said. “This increase underscores our dedication to recruiting, retaining and rewarding exceptional professionals who make a difference in the lives of our students every day.”

CPSD currently has 61 National Board Certified Teachers across the district.

The Clinton Public School District recently organized an in-district NBCT mentor group consisting of Clinton teachers whose mission it is to assist other teachers, counselors, speech-language pathologists and other educators looking to become National Board Certified educators. 

National Board Certification is the most respected professional certification available in education and provides numerous benefits to teachers, students and schools. More than 137,000 teachers have been named as NBCT across the county.
