Common use of CALCULATION RESTRICTIONS Clause in Contracts

CALCULATION RESTRICTIONS. i. In all salary ranges, (Bachelor's, Master's, Educational Specialist, and Doctoral), credit hours used for salary determination must not have previously been used to calculate salary. Credit hours used for salary determination must have been obtained after the date the preceding degree was earned as evidenced by the official college transcript. The maximum number of credit hours that may be submitted for salary advancement shall not exceed 18 in any single contract year. ii. In all salary ranges, additional credit hours added during the 2019-20 and subsequent school years will only be calculated/credited at intervals of 9, 18, 27, 36, or 39 hours. Hours credited prior to the 2019-20 school year or hours calculated for new hires effective at the beginning of the 2019-20 school year will be fully calculated. For example, a teacher with BA+3 entering the school year will be treated as BA+3 for purposes of salary. If that same teacher earns 3 additional hours, he or she will remain at BA+3 because he/she did not reach the interval of “9.” If that same teacher earns 10 additional hours, he or she will be credited at BA+9, because he/she reached the interval of “9”, but did not reach the interval of “18.”
