Common use of In-Service Credit Clause in Contracts

In-Service Credit. In-service credit may be used in determining eligibility for any reclassification on the salary schedule; however, no more than half of the total credits required may consist of such in-service credit. In-service credit is based on the "mini unit" system. Eight (8) mini units equal one (1) in-service hour of credit. Mini units earned during a contract year that do not total one in-service hour are not carried over to the next contract year. Filing the appropriate forms to receive in-service credit is the teacher's responsibility. Further information on in-service credit is contained in the professional growth committee guidelines, available in building offices.
