Initial Placement on the Salary Schedule. Academic Credits
Initial Placement on the Salary Schedule. At the time of employment, each teacher will be placed on the vertical step of the salary schedule that is appropriate for the amount of experience accrued in any academic field. The teacher will be placed on the horizontal column that is appropriate for the number of accumulated graduate college hours since certification and degree(s).
Initial Placement on the Salary Schedule. Initial placement on the salary schedule is determined by two factors: the number of units (calculated as semester units), beyond the Bachelor’s degree, from an accredited college or university, completed before the first day of service; and the number of years of prior experience.

Initial Placement on the Salary Schedule. 1. Horizontal Rows (steps)
a. The column "Completed Years of Experience" is only for initial placement on the salary schedule.
b. Full credit for prior experience will be granted to certified staff members new to the District. To be counted as a year of experience, the experience must be for at least 90 workdays in a teaching/licensed assignment in a public or private school with a school day and course of study approximating that of the Gladstone School District. To be counted, the experience must have occurred after the certified member possessed or was eligible for a teaching certificate from some state. Experience other than teaching or counseling in an elementary or secondary school may be approved by the Superintendent or designee upon verification that it was comparable to or equivalent to the assignment for which the certified member is hired in the Gladstone School District.
c. The top cells of the salary schedule are reserved for a continuation of service in the District, not for initial placement.
2. Vertical Columns (educational attainment)
a. All certified staff members will be placed in the (vertical) columns according to degrees held and credit hours earned.
b. The District will count for initial placement in advanced columns those credit hours taken and completed after the date on the initial teaching certificate. (However, a member who earned a bachelor's degree in the subject area in which they are hired to teach, before earning a teacher's certificate, may have hours counted beginning after the date of the bachelor's degree if the hours meet all other contractual requirements.)
c. Graduate hours marked on the transcript as reserved for graduate credit but taken before the award of the bachelor's degree will count toward placement on the salary schedule. For placement on the MA+24 or MA+45 column, hours must be earned after obtaining a Master's degree and obtaining a teaching certificate.
d. To be counted, the courses must 1) enhance the member's performance of their designated assignment, or (2) must correlate with a possible future assignment or additional certification that has been approved in writing by the building administrator. The course work for placement on advanced columns must also be graduate hours from an accredited institution that the member passed with a grade of C or better (or "Pass" on pass/no pass system).
