Common use of Salary Schedule Movement Clause in Contracts

Salary Schedule Movement. Movement on the salary schedule for the 2019-2020 school year can occur for two (2) reasons. There is no diagonal movement. Movement can only occur to the right or down. Once a teacher reaches a column, the teacher will remain in that column until the teacher meets the requirements listed to move to another column to the right. For purposes of this compensation model, eligible “content area” degrees and credit hours are defined as any content area (as defined by the IDOE) in which the teacher currently teaches or any other content area approved by the Superintendent. 1. Movement down one (1) row If the teacher is not eligible for a column change due to not possessing a new content area degree or content area credit hours and the teacher’s evaluation is not in the bottom two performance categories, the teacher will move down one (1) row in the column s/he is currently placed. 2. Movement over to the right one (1) column If the teacher qualifies for a column change due to the new possession of a content area degree or content area credit hours beyond the requirements for employment, and the teacher’s evaluation rating is not in the bottom two performance categories, the teacher will move one (1) column to the right. The teacher’s possession of a new content area degree or content area hours beyond the requirements for employment does not account for more than 33.33% of the teacher’s increase or increment.
