Nevada § 391.167 - Determination of salaries: Credit for previous teaching service

§ 391.167. Determination of salaries: Credit for previous teaching service

1. In determining the salary of a licensed teacher who is employed by a school district

after the teacher has been employed by another school district in this State, the

present employer shall, except as otherwise provided in subsection 3: (a) Give the teacher the same credit for previous teaching service as the teacher

was receiving from the teacher's former employer at the end of his or her former employment; (b) Give the teacher credit for the teacher's final year of service with his or her

former employer, if credit for that service is not included in credit given pursuant

to paragraph (a); and (c) Place the teacher on the schedule of salaries of the school district in a classification

that is commensurate with the level of education acquired by the teacher, as set forth

in the applicable negotiated agreement with the present employer. 2. A school district may give the credit required by subsection 1 for previous teaching

service earned in another state if the Commission has approved the standards for licensing

teachers of that state. The Commission shall adopt regulations that establish the criteria by which the

Commission will consider the standards for licensing teachers of other states for

the purposes of this subsection. The criteria may include, without limitation, whether the Commission has authorized

reciprocal licensure of educational personnel from the state under consideration. 3. This section does not: (a) Require a school district to allow a teacher more credit for previous teaching

service than the maximum credit for teaching experience provided for in the schedule

of salaries established by it for its licensed personnel. (b) Permit a school district to deny a teacher credit for his or her previous teaching

service on the ground that the service differs in kind from the teaching experience

for which credit is otherwise given by the school district. 4. As used in this section, “ previous teaching service ” means the total of: (a) Any period of teaching service for which a teacher received credit from the teacher's

former employer at the beginning of his or her former employment; and (b) The teacher's period of teaching service in his or her former employment.
