Salary Portability

New licensed employees will be given up to ten years salary credit for previous work experience.

The Aurora Public Schools' Division of Human Resources determines an individual's salary schedule placement. Teachers and licensed employees will be given salary credit for up to ten (10) years of qualified outside experience within the preceding fifteen (15) years on a one-year-for-one-year basis. The school district only recognizes previous experience when all of the following apply for a particular year's assignment.

The licensed employee:

Was contracted and paid on a salary basis
Worked as a teacher for an accredited K-12 educational institution*
Worked 90 or more consecutive workdays
Worked half-time or more of full teacher's schedule
Had or was eligible for a state department teaching license or authorization

Internships, student teaching, substituting, on-call, or contracts with salaries and benefits less than what a regularly contracted teacher would receive do not qualify.

Student services specialists, i.e. audiologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech language specialists, nurses, social workers and psychologists will be granted outside experience for state, agency or private clinical or hospital employment only if they were appropriately licensed and half or more of their primary responsibilities involved K-12 age students. Additionally, criteria 1, 3 and 4 above must also apply.

*Effective August 2023, individuals with post-secondary education experience will be provided credit for years as long as the assignment was at least half-time or more of a full teacher’s schedule, for 90 or more consecutive days, and at an accredited institution
