Academic Needs. The salary increase for academic needs is a teacher retention catch-up, defined as the adjustment of the salary of a returning teacher up to the salary amount in 2023-2024 salary scale for a new teacher with equivalent experience and education. Distribution Plan Description: For 2023-2024, the salary schedule has been increased across the board by $4,200. All teachers meeting the evaluation factor will receive this across the board increase to the schedule. In addition, certain teachers who meet the academic needs factor will receive an additional differentiated increase to their base, which increase is a teacher retention catch-up. After receiving the increase for the evaluation factor, any teacher whose salary is still below that of a newly hired teacher with the same years of experience and education, according to the 2023-2024 salary schedule below, will receive an additional differentiated increase in an amount equal to the difference between the teacher’s current salary and that of a new hire who has the same experience and education. Because the teacher retention catch-up increases under the academic needs factor are salary adjustments made in comparison to new teacher salaries, they are exempt from the 50% limitation on education. There will be no additional base salary increases for the 2023-2024 school year beyond those described in this distribution plan.
