Question: I want to take some classes to earn units and move on the salary schedule. What do I do and/or who do I contact?
Answer: Teachers can make movement on the salary schedule in two ways. They can move down in the salary schedule by accumulating years of service. They can also move across the salary schedule through the accumulation of approved college course units.
The name and description of the course the teacher is interested in taking would need to be submitted to the RDUSD Personnel department for approval. Once a decision is made, the RDUSD Personnel department will notify the teacher via email.
Once the course has been completed, an official transcript or grade report would need to be submitted to the RDUSD Personnel department by no later than October 1st. If the units constitute a move on the salary schedule, the change will be reflected on the October 31st paycheck, retroactive back to August. Per the union contract, there is only one other time that a teacher can move on the salary schedule. However, a letter of intent needs to be submitted to the RUDSD Personnel department no later than October 1st stating that a course(s) is in progress that will be completed and a transcript or grade report will be submitted between October – February.
