Credit on Teacher Salary Schedule for Teacher Aide Experience

The Board of Education will consider granting credit on the Teacher Salary Schedule for experiences as a teacher aide if the following criteria are met:

1.) The teacher must have been certified as a teacher at the time employed as an aide. It should also be understood that the teacher moved from an aide position in Manchester directly to a teaching position and is currently a teacher in Manchester.

2.) That the performance of the aide was unique in that the aide had functioned at a level normally beyond what is expected of an aide and that a good portion of the aide's activities was performed not under the direct supervision of a teacher.

3.) The uniqueness of the aide's position must be documented in writing by the principal of the school and the Assistant Superintendent for Administration.

4.) The teacher must submit, in writing, a request to the Credit Evaluation Committee and no salary credit will be given unless the Committee is in agreement.

5.) Only experience gained as a teacher aide in the Manchester Public Schools will be considered.

6.) No more than one year's credit on the salary schedule will be granted.
