Tuition Reimbursement

Tuition Reimbursement Units A, B, & C (Effective September 1, 2025)

Malden Public Schools funds a tuition reimbursement account of $50,000 each year. With the proper approval (as outlined below) and as funds are available, educators in Units A, B, & C of the Malden Education association may receive tuition reimbursement up to $750 within a school year.

Application & Reimbursement Procedure

  1. At least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the course apply for course content approval in Vector. This is the pre-approval needed for step 3.

  2. Upon approval of the course in Vector, the educator should submit a W-9 to the Business Office–this is required for reimbursement.

    • The W-9 should NOT be sent via email.

    • W-9 may be sent via postal mail to Toni Mertz, 110 Pleasant St., Malden MA, 02148 OR via interoffice mail to Toni Mertz.

    • If you think you already have a W-9 on file, you can confirm with Toni Mertz.

  3. Complete Tuition Reimbursement Request Google Form

    • You will be notified whether you are approved or waitlisted for reimbursement. Reimbursement will require submission of evidence upon the completion of the course.

    • Notifications will happen on a rolling basis, but could take 1-2 weeks.

  4. Complete Evidence Submission Google Form

    • To complete this form you will need to upload two pieces of evidence to process your reimbursement:

      • 1) Receipt showing payment for the course and the cost of the course;

      • 2) Unofficial Transcript showing the completion of the course with a grade of C or better (or a passing grade, if an alpha/numeric grade is not available).

        • This should be completed within two weeks of the completion of the course, but no later than June 15th.
