Common use of Educational Lanes Clause in Contracts

Educational Lanes. Employees on the regular salary schedule who move from one educational lane to a higher educational lane shall be placed on the step corresponding with that to which they would have been entitled had they remained in their former educational lane. An employee if eligible shall be entitled to move both horizontally and vertically in the same year. A clerical or timeline error by either party will not preclude the use of courses to advance on the salary schedule. If that occurs, there will be a meeting between the teacher and the Human Resources Department to discuss and resolve the matter. The decision of the Director of Human Resources, or his designee, will be final. To advance from one educational lane to another, an employee shall complete and file with the human resources office a written application form furnished by the School District and available online under Human Resources no later than September 15 of the school year for which the credit is to be granted. Grade report forms may be temporarily accepted as evidence of completion of a course intended to be used by an employee in making application for horizontal advancement. If an official transcript(s) of credit(s) earned is not filed with the human resources office by the end of the first semester, the employee shall be moved back to his/her previous salary lane and his/her salary shall be reduced to make up for any overpayment. An administrative or clerical error at a college or university shall not be the sole basis for denying an employee’s request to move to a higher salary lane.
