Lane Changes. The training level of the teacher as of September 15 will be the basis of pay for that school year except eligible credits submitted by February 15 shall be counted in determining the basis of pay for the second semester. Applications for a salary adjustment due to a change in the training level of a teacher shall be made to the Human Resources Director by the submission of a transcript from an accredited college or university prior to September 15 for the first semester and prior to February 15 for the second semester adjustment. The application for lane change shall contain a verification as to whether the credits submitted are semester credits or quarter credits. If a transcript is not available by these dates, other satisfactory evidence of the completion of a course will be recognized pending the receipt of the official transcript. However, the salary adjustment shall not be made until the official transcript is received, at which time the salary adjustment shall be retroactive. Effective July 1, 2022, the number of lane changes per year beyond the MA lane will be limited to one lane change per year unless the multiple lane changes are connected to receiving a new Specialist or Doctoral Degree.
