The Superintendent, with input from staff members, will prepare salary schedules annually for all non-administrative employee groups. These schedules will be submitted to the Board of Education for approval. (See also Policy 4131 - Extra Duty and Extended Duty Contracts.) Salary recommendations for all administrators will be prepared and submitted to the Board annually. Administrative salaries will be based upon a variety of factors including, educational preparation, years of service within the District, and within public education, years of service as an administrator at each administrative level, years of service within the District, regional comparisons to similar districts, number of contracted days, administrative responsibilities, and salaries of other District administrators within category - building and central office. Consideration will be given to administrators' previous salary for all newly hired administrators.

Credit for Prior Years of Service For Employees on the Salary Schedule

Implementation of this subsection will begin with staff hired for the 2022-2023 school year. When determining placement on the salary schedule, non-administrative certified staff will be given credit for all prior years of employment in certified positions with public, private, or charter schools in any state in the United States. Credit will only be given for prior full years of employment; credit will not be awarded for prior years for which the employee was only employed a portion of the year. To receive credit, the prior full years of employment need not have been continuous nor do they have to immediately precede the staff member’s employment with this District.
