2006-2007 Application for $2,500 Annual Award
Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Education
The Iowa Department
of Education (DE) has received funding from the
Iowa Code section
256.44(2) requires the DE to prorate the amount of the annual award if the
number of applicants exceeds the funds available. As such, NBC teachers will receive an annual
award of $2,500 or, if necessary, a lesser prorated amount. Annual appropriations by the legislature will
be required to continue funding NBC award programs.
Under state law, in
order to qualify for the NBC annual award, an NBC teacher must:
·
Apply to the
DE for the initial annual award within one year of becoming eligible.
·
File an annual
application by May 1 of each year.

licensed teacher employed by an Iowa public school district and receiving
salary from the school district as a classroom teacher.
The deadline for
submitting applications to the DE for the NBC annual award during the 2006-2007
fiscal year is May 1, 2007.
