Degree Status Change. When a teacher shall have attained the next higher degree and shall have provided the Board of Education with evidence of this fact, the teacher shall be placed on the salary column which reflects the new degree at the opening of the next succeeding semester (this is to be prorated). Written notification of intent to be graduated shall be given to the Human Resources Department not later than November 10 to receive payment for second semester, and not later than July 15 to receive payment for succeeding school year.
Degree Status Change. 12.5.1 Any changes in the degree status of a teacher that affects teacher’s salary must be made upon notification and proof of change by August 1 and February 1. Failure to present proof of grades by August 31 will result in pay adjustment and reverting to previous lane.
Degree Status Change. Each teacher shall be eligible for credit for degree status change two times yearly, on October 15 and March 15. The full differential shall be granted if the evidence has been presented by October 15 of the current school year; half of the differential if the evidence has been presented by March 15 of the current school year. It will be the responsibility of the teacher to notify the Superintendent in writing prior to any change in degree status and to submit appropriate official transcripts of the successful completion of the advanced work or degree achievement or other equivalent written evidence of the same from the college or university where the teacher has taken such course work. In order for the Superintendent to recognize such degree status changes, all necessary documentation must be submitted prior to the dates specified herein. A degree must be awarded, or appropriate course work successfully completed in circumstances when a degree is not applicable, and evidence of same submitted prior to October 15 or March 15 in order to receive appropriate credit.
