Advanced Degree. 1. For those teachers hired to the District prior to July 1, 2011, salary adjustments shall be made for completion of advanced degrees earned during the school year upon receipt of the verification of the higher degree. The effective date of adjustment shall be the completion date of said advanced degree and in no case will precede July 1st of the fiscal year that the request for upgrade was submitted in writing.
Advanced Degree. With the approval of the Superintendent, advanced degrees may relate to any position an employee holds or desires to hold within the School District or for any administrative position.
Advanced Degree. For bargaining unit members hired on or after July 1, 2011, to qualify for advanced degree compensation, the advanced degree earned must be in an area of certification currently on the bargaining unit member’s certificate. Advanced degrees in Curriculum, Education, and/or Educational Leadership are considered broad degrees in education and are eligible for advanced degree payment. In addition, an advanced degree that is directly related to a broad academic field (i.e. degree in history and certification in social science) will be eligible. The application of an advanced degree that is not clearly identified on a certificate will be determined by mutual agreement between both parties of the Hernando Classroom Teachers’ Association and the Human Resources Department. If the qualifications are met, the payment will be made in the form of a supplement in the following amount: Masters = $2500 Specialist = $3500 Doctorate = $4500 If the bargaining unit member no longer holds the certification area used to qualify for the advanced degree payment, they must notify the Human Resource Department within ten (10) days from the date of the certificate change to end the supplement payment. Bargaining unit members hired prior to July 1, 2011 already receiving or become eligible to receive payment for an advanced degree will continue to be paid as indicated above. The instructional salary is for all instructional staff as defined in APPENDIX E. APPENDIX B
Advanced Degree. Newly-hired, Full-Time Faculty possessing a Doctoral degree, MFA, or equivalent terminal degree from a regionally accredited college, in an area that supports the College’s curriculum shall receive an additional two thousand dollars ($2,000) in annual salary for a maximum of one qualifying terminal degree. Faculty will be required to provide official transcripts verifying all educational credentials prior to the completion of the salary placement process.
Advanced Degree. After hire, when a full-time academic employee is awarded an advanced degree as part of a pre-approved professional development plan, and submits an official transcript verifying the degree, the employee will be awarded movement of 0.10 on the SIM. The salary adjustment will be effective July 1 of the next fiscal year, subject to legislative funding. If completion of the degree is a condition of employment for a new academic employee, there will be no movement on the SIM upon completion of that degree.
Advanced Degree. If a faculty member, on or after the first day of the fiscal 1997 academic year and while employed by the College, is awarded an advanced degree, or a certificate or license in the discipline for which he is employed by the College, and that advanced degree would result in enhanced salary placement for a faculty member initially hired by the College in such discipline, such faculty member’s salary shall be increased, effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal academic year commencing after the faculty member notifies the College of, and furnishes to the College evidence of, the award of such degree, license or certificate. The amount of such increase shall be equal to the amount that would be paid to a faculty member initially hired to commence employment during the fiscal academic year for which the increase becomes effective. No faculty member may be awarded a salary increase pursuant to this Section 8.2(C):
Advanced Degree. Any nurse with a Bachelor’s or Master’s of Science in Nursing 30 or healthcare related field shall be paid a differential of $1.00 per hour for each degree 31 (I.e., a nurse having both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree will be paid $2.00 per 32 hour)..

Note: the PNCC will determine which “healthcare related field” 34 degrees will qualify for this differential.
