The Board shall adopt a salary schedule for its regular teaching personnel and shall place each teacher in the School District on the salary schedule at least commensurate with, but not limited to, his/her education, prior experience and experience in the District.  The schedule adopted by the Board shall remain in effect until changed or modified by the Board in accordance with law.  If the Board declares a fiscal emergency during a budget year as allowed by State law, it may reduce salaries for all employees on a proportional basis.

Salary increments shall be conditioned upon evidence of the continued professional growth of the teacher.  Within the framework of State statutes, employees who do not comply with the requirements of the Board and State may not be granted salary increases or they may not be retained on the staff.

Teachers obtaining National Board Certification will be eligible for a one time lump bonus of $5,000.  The lump sum will be processed as part of the regularly schedule paycheck upon receipt in the Human Resources office of the certificate verifying completion.

Placement on the salary schedule shall be in accordance with requirements developed by the administration and approved by the Board.

The District shall comply with statutory provisions regarding salary schedules.

When referring to working conditions, salary or benefits, the negotiated contract, which is currently in effect will prevail.  If an approved contract is not in place, these attached policies, regulations and exhibits will take their place.
