Tuition Reimbursement for Teachers No Longer Eligible for Salary Advancement Through Completion of Graduate Credit Sample Clauses

Tuition Reimbursement for Teachers No Longer Eligible for Salary Advancement Through Completion of Graduate Credit. A teacher who has obtained a Masters+50 and is no longer eligible for salary advancement through the completion of graduate coursework will be eligible for tuition reimbursement according to the formula below for up to three (3) preapproved graduate hours every three (3) years. In order to be eligible for tuition reimbursement, the course(s) must be completed with a grade of “B” or better (or “Pass” in a Pass/Fail class) and appropriate evidence of the tuition payment made must be submitted. For purposes of determining when a teacher is eligible for tuition reimbursement, a three-year measurement window will be utilized. For teachers who have attained MA+50 as of July 1, 2015, their first three-year window starts effective September 1, 2015. For a teacher who has not attained MA+50 as of July 1, 2015, the first three-year window will begin on the following September 1st after the attainment of MA+50. During each three-year window, a teacher will be eligible for reimbursement for up to 3 credit hours. Each teacher’s individual measurement window will restart every three years. Tuition Reimbursement Formula: $0-400 = 100% paid $401-800 = $400 + 75% of the cost of tuition over $400 $801-1,200 = $700 + 50% of the cost of tuition over $800 $1,201-1,600 = $900 + 25% of the cost of tuition over $1,200
