Teaching assistants may apply to the Director of Personnel, or his/her designee, for the granting of salary credit after completing District sponsored in-service courses (such as courses through the Teachers’ Center, SETRC, Site-Based Courses) or other approved in-service courses taken after ratification of this agreement. Salary credit (added to base salary) shall be granted at $240.00 for the completion of six (6) credit hours (60 seat hours).

Application for approval of salary credit for non-district sponsored courses shall be made no later than thirty (30) days before a course begins and no such credit shall be granted retroactively.

If in-service courses are offered during the normal workday there shall be no salary adjustment for such courses.

This agreement will begin on June 30, 2003 and expire upon the expiration of a successor Unit 8 contract.
