Important Changes MUNIS has changed the object code to distinguish between PD STIPENDS and EXTRA SERVICE. If you are paying a certified employee a stipend to attend and/or lead a professional learning initiative, please continue to use object 011327 to pay the stipend rate for their work. If you are paying a teacher to lead intervention of some type working with the students (ESS for example) the object code will be 011392 and they will receive the rate appropriate for what they are doing. If you are paying a certified employee for a FULL DAY extended time, the object code remains 0111. This change will require that you get the new codes created and requested in Time and Attendance when needed. ESSA Every Student Succeeds Act New Changes to be shared by Title I Director
