HORIZONTAL ADVANCEMENT ON THE SALARY SCHEDULE. Teachers completing sufficient education during any year or summer to qualify for horizontal advancement on the salary schedule must come to Human Resources no later than September 10 for a review of their credits and to complete the District form requesting movement on the salary schedule. Failure to meet this deadline will eliminate any opportunity for horizontal advancement on the salary schedule during the current school year. All requests for horizontal advancement on the salary schedule shall be accompanied by proof of completion which must be in the form of an official transcript. Grade reports or other documentation will not be accepted. Official transcripts shall be submitted no later than September 10 if advancement is to be reflected in the September payroll. Official transcripts will be accepted by Human Resources up to October 1. However, teachers who fail to provide official transcripts to Human Resources by October 1 will forfeit their right to horizontal advancement during that school year. Teachers will be reimbursed solely on the basis of approved experience and credits for which appropriate documentation exists in line with existing state laws and the negotiated agreement. All credits to be used for advancement on the salary schedule and must be approved by the District as meeting at least one of the criteria defined by OSPI. Only credits approved by the State of Washington for LEAP calculations shall be approved for salary schedule advancement.
HORIZONTAL ADVANCEMENT ON THE SALARY SCHEDULE. A. Transcripted credits from the university or junior college level count toward horizontal advancement. (2019)
HORIZONTAL ADVANCEMENT ON THE SALARY SCHEDULE. Each teacher with the equivalent of BS+36 shall be placed on the BS+36/XX Xxxx at the appropriate level. No teacher so placed shall be allowed to move horizontally to a Lane higher than the BS+36/XX Xxxx unless the teacher first receives a Masters’ Degree. Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year, a teacher may only advance one lane horizontally each year regardless of how many credit hours are earned in that year. Excess credit hours earned in that year may be used for a lane advancement in the following year(s). Exception: a teacher enrolled in a preapproved Masters’ Degree program will be placed in the BS+36/XX Xxxx for the start of the next school year after the conferment of the Masters’ Degree. A teacher in a preapproved Masters’ Degree program may move multiple lanes in a year, but the movement of four lanes (from BS to BS+36/MS) must span a minimum of two school years. For the 2011-2012 school year, IFT ER&D Courses taken from Lake County Federation of Teachers Local 504 will be counted toward horizontal movement on the salary schedule. It is understood that ER&D Courses will most likely not transfer to other school districts. At the end of the 2011-2012 school year, the superintendent and council president will reevaluate whether or not to continue the practice of counting ER&D Courses for horizontal movement on the salary schedule.
