Contract Instructor Wages 

Contract Instructors are Independent Contractors. Instructors are offered a percentage of the fees associated with the class that they are scheduled to teach. 

Classes will work on a 65/35 contract or 70/30 depenfing on whether or not the class is held on District Property. The Instructor will receive 65%/70% of the primary fees (not including any Administrative or Out-of-District fees) and the District will retain 35%/30% for maintenance, publicity, and any other cost incurred by the class. 

All fees (except material/supply fees) are collected by the District and the Instructor is paid upon completion of the class. Once your class has finished, Instructors will be asked to submit a Contract Instructor Service Invoice along with signed class waivers for payment.
