Payment to teachers. A

class teacher .

class teacher will make the payment.

calculated as 0.5 multiplied by the supplementary weighting for the virtual
class multiplied by the district cost per pupil in the subsequent budget
year.
f. If the teacher 's contract
includes additional pay for teaching the virtual class , the teacher will
receive the higher amount of the additional pay in the contract or the amount
of the additional pay calculated pursuant to paragraphs

comparison, the employer will compare the salary portions only.
g. The contract between the agencies will
