§ 391.161. Determination of salaries: Increased salary for certain teachers who are certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
Each year when determining the salary of a teacher who holds certification issued
by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, a school district shall
add 5 percent to the salary that the teacher would otherwise receive in 1 year for
the teacher's classification on the schedule of salaries for the school district if: 1. On or before January 31 of the school year, the teacher has submitted evidence
satisfactory to the school district of his or her current certification; and 2. The teacher is assigned by the school district to provide classroom instruction
during that school year. No increase in salary may be given pursuant to this section during a particular school
year to a teacher who submits evidence of certification after January 31 of that school
year. For the first school year that a teacher submits evidence of his or her current
certification, the board of trustees of the school district to whom the evidence was
submitted shall pay the increase in salary required by this section retroactively
to the beginning of that school year. Once a teacher has submitted evidence of such certification to the school district,
the school district shall retain the evidence in its records, as applicable, for future
school years. An increase in salary given in accordance with this section is in addition to any
other increase to which the teacher may otherwise be entitled.
