Common use of Pay Schedule Placement Clause in Contracts

Pay Schedule Placement. The placement of teachers on the salary schedule (Schedule “A”) shall be as follows: a.

To be eligible for the “BA+” designation (available only to 12-31-2016), a teacher must have earned 18 credit hours (from an accredited institution of higher education) after attaining the BA degree. To be eligible for this, however, a teacher must either: (i) possess a “continuing” or “professional” certificate or (ii) have at least 18 credit hours beyond the BA degree which qualify toward a “continuing” or “professional” certificate. c. To be eligible for the “MA+15” designation (available only to 12-31-2016), a teacher must have earned 15 graduate level credit hours (from an accredited institution of higher education) after attaining the MA degree. d.

Lateral movement on the Salary Schedule (e.g. from “BA+” to “MA,” etc.) will not be made retroactively, but will instead commence effective with the first pay period following the District’s receipt of proper written verification of the teacher’s eligibility for such movement.
