If you were hired inot BUSD at the beginning of the 2020- 2021 with 8 years of comparable teaching experience:

  • 20-21 = Step 9
  • 21-22 = Step 10
  • 22-23 = Step 11
  • 23-24 = Step 12
  • 24-25 = Step 13 

Calculating Step Placement:

  • Must work 75% of the days of the school year to advance to next Step
  • FTE doesn’t matter
  • *eachers coming to BUSD with service in other districts: Work with all previous school employers counts as long as the “75% of the days of the year” rule is met and the employee had a credential
  • *Maximum Initial Step placement is 19 in 2024-202
     
  • Based on semester units
  • 1 quarter unit = 2/3 of 1 semester unit
  • 9 quarter units = 6 semester units
  • To move over on the salary schedule, NO prior course approval is REQUIRED
  • All transcripts and Inservice Credits must be turned in by November 1st but before July 1st to move a column for the same year. Transcripts turned in after November 1st but before July 1 will be applied to the beginning of the next school year.
