VDOE Funding

Use of VDOE grant funds may only be accessed if the service is provided by an approved VNOC Consultant and the request is arranged with the TAC-DHH Project Director before services are rendered.

Guidelines for VNOC consultants fees are as follows:

• $270-$300 for a half-day (3 hours) of direct service for individuals holding a bachelor’s or a master’s degree ($90-$100/hour).

• $500.00 for a half-day (3 hours) of direct service for individuals holding a doctorate degree ($150/hour).

• The billable amount of service time may include preparation. Preparation time should not exceed the time spent providing the actual service and may be no more than 3 hours total.

• Consultants may be reimbursed at the current state rates for travel, including mileage as outlined in Per Diem Rates for Virginia. Lodging and food are reimbursable at state rates if overnight is necessary. (Meals are not an expected reimbursable expense for a one-day consultation. In addition, VNOC consultants may not bill for unencumbered/nonworking lunch break.)

• $90/hour for consultants holding a bachelor’s degree

• $100/hour for consultants holding a master’s degree

• $150/hour for consultants holding a doctorate degree

• $200/hour for an educational psychologist

The school division/agency’s Authorizing Administrator and the VNOC Consultant should agree on a fee/hour or /half-day by a signed Estimate Reimbursement Agreement Form before service is provided to include travel expenses. Pre-approval of the maximum (not to exceed) amount of the VNOC consultation and the maximum amount to be reimbursed to the school division/agency must be arranged and agreed upon with the TAC-DHH Project Director before services are rendered.

For Professional Development: Local school divisions/agencies may host regional professional development sessions provided by VNOC consultants. A VNOC Service Request form must be submitted for scheduling a regional event.
