Do bilingual teachers receive additional pay?
Bilingual teachers who demonstrate their bilingual proficiency through the BCLAD language test receive an additional yearly stipend in most districts. For example, a district in Riverside County pays a $450 yearly stipend; a district in Orange County pays as much as $3,000 yearly. The amount is dependent upon the languages spoken by students in the district and whether the teacher is assigned Science-ELD (English Language Development) classes.
