Contracted Employees

Contracted Employees who are new to the district will be placed on the salary schedule according their education and years of experience for up to seven years in a similar position.

The request must include: 

1. A letter requesting the advanced placement from the supervisor hiring the new employee that describes the quality of the new employee’s previous work. The description must include specific verifiable evidence (documents) such as: significant improved student achievement gains, recognition awards, leadership positions held, or leading professional development training. 
2. A resume of the new employee.

A request for granting consideration of additional steps on the salary schedule may also be granted for positions that are difficult to fill. The person hiring the new employee may submit a letter to the Deputy Superintendent that describes the reason(s) the pool of potential employees for the position was poor. The letter must include: 

1. The number of attempts to hire for the position 
2. The number of candidates for the position for each attempt to hire for the position 
3. The quality of candidates for each attempt to hire for the position
