II. Salary A. Salaries for administrators are determined by the Board of School Directors. B. The 2012-13 school year begins implementation of a salary band structure created using five comparably sized Bucks County school districts and PSBA statewide medians (adjusted for cost of living in Bucks). The three-year compensation plan beginning July 1, 2014 continues the banding program (appendix A). C. Band 1 represents the salary target for employees hired with zero to five years of school district ( sd ) administrative experience. Band 2 represents the salary target for employees hired with six to 10 years of administrative experience (sd). Band 3 represents the salary target for employees hired with 11 to 15 years of administrative experience (sd). Band 4 represents the salary target for employees hired with 16 to 20 years of administrative experience (sd). Band 5 represents the salary target for employees hired with more than 21 years of administrative experience (sd). D. The bands increase by 1.0% for 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17. E. Human Resources staff shall be responsible for verifying proper band placement. F. Employees shall be responsible for reviewing their band placement and promptly notifying Human Resources of any corrections. G. Individual movement toward the band target is capped at 1.52% all-in for 2014-15, 1.47% all-in for 2015-16, and 1.39% for 2016-17. Employees below their band target would make progress, but not less than 0.8% in a given year. H. Act 93 administrators beyond the band would receive the minimum increases of 0.8% per year from 2014-15 through 2016-17. I. Movement on the band and receipt of the minimum increase requires an overall satisfactory rating. J. The Superintendent would continue to have the ability to recommend to the Board an entry point that is more or less than the applicable band where she/he deems appropriate given the overall quality, experience and fit of a particular candidate. K. For any classification created before the next compensation plan is created, the Business Administrator shall be responsible to creating a band recommendation for the Board consistent with this model. L. Full implementation of salary bands would require a multiyear process to align Centennial s structure with the K12 marketplace in Bucks County. During the time of transition care will be taken so as to not advantage new hires or transfers over existing employees in the same position and experience band. 2
M. The total adjustment to the Act 93 administrative salary plan for the three years is projected at 1.0% per year. N.
