Exceeding Starting Rate. The District may hire at a rate exceeding the starting rate depending upon the experience and skill of the applicant. For example, if the district hired a maintenance mechanic with 8 years of prior experience, the district may start the individual with up to 8 years credit in the position. Similarly, if the district hired a teacher aide with 8 years previous experience in another school district, the district may start the individual with up to 8 years credit in the position. When this occurs, the starting rate will be no higher than $.50 per hour less than the rate being paid to current employees in such positions with equivalent years of service. The district will provide the Association President notice prior to this occurring.
