Comments
According to the author's office, "A serious problem exists
within local school districts statewide regarding ability
to provide equal pay for equal work with CTE/ROP teachers
vs. academic teachers. Language in the Ed Code needs to be
adjusted to require/allow districts to treat CTE taechers
fairly. CTC allows CTE teachers to teach students in our
classrooms just like an academic teacher; yet salary
schedules are unequal. This is unfair and discriminatory.
Ed Code section 45028 (e) already addresses the provision
of incentives to teachers and recognizes relevant
professional experience on the salary schedule in lieu of
units and degrees or in lieu of teaching experience. This
section needs to be expanded to clarify districts' ability
to provide equality in salary schedules."
