MINIMUM SCHOOL YEAR. Not less than 135 days of continuous District employment in one school year shall count as a full year of teaching experience for purposes of advancement on the Salary Schedule. Part-time service may be accumulated within three consecutive school years, and when part-time service totals to the equivalent of regular full-time service, an increment shall be granted for the following school year. When the increment is earned and granted, the part- time service accumulation shall start anew with the first day of service in the subsequent school year. No increment in salary shall be granted for less annual service except as allowed in the Legislative Leave provision. It is the responsibility of the teacher to notify the District when his/her accumulated service entitles him/her to Salary Schedule advancement prior to the completion of his/her then current contracted employment.
