Paid release time acknowledges the time commitment a TEACH Early Childhood® Colorado recipient is making to your program; not only are they going to school but they are committing to stay employed in your program for a year after their contract is completed.
Additionally, TEACH will reimburse your program for release hours you provide at $15 an hour. If you provide the maximum release hours during the semester (36), TEACH will send your program a check for $540!
Use release time reimbursements to help with other TEACH related costs like the program’s portion of the tuition cost. It is up to you!
