Common use of Initial Salary Schedule Placement Clause in Contracts

Initial Salary Schedule Placement. 1. Full-time unit members who possess a valid credential registered with the County Office which required full completion of a student teaching program shall be given credit for up to five years of successful public school teaching experience at grades K-12 upon provision of verification of such experience satisfactory to the District. The initial placement shall not exceed Step 6. In order to be counted as successful experience, the unit member must have actually rendered full-time equivalent service of 75% of the days of a school year. Years submitted for experience credit must have been taught in the 10 years immediately preceding employment with the Etiwanda School District. For initial placement, lower division units acquired after the B.A. or B.S. degree are not acceptable for salary credit. Upper division or graduate units from an accredited college or university taken after the date of the B.A. or B.S. degree shall be credited for salary placement. Failure to submit official transcripts or other verification by September 15 of the first year of employment as requested will result in the units not being accepted for salary credit until the next submission date (refer to C. Advancement on the Salary Schedule). Teachers hired after September 15 must submit official transcripts within 60 calendar days of their contract start date. 2. Interns, teachers on emergency or other credentials, not requiring full completion of student teaching or its equivalent prior to issuance, shall be placed on Step 1, Column 1 regardless of the number or type of units completed or the member’s previous experience.
