Aspen Academy Faculty Salary Schedule
Salary Schedule Benchmarking:
Elementary, Middle School, and Essentials: Aspen Academy's salary schedule effective August 2016 is based on the average of three neighboring school districts' posted salary schedule as of 12/1/2015 (Littleton Public School District, Douglas County Public School District, and Cherry Creek Public School District).
Early Education: The school reviewed statewide benchmarking resources, but found that the average benchmark salary was significantly lower than what the school intends to compensate in its early education teachers. Therefore, the school has elected to create a salary schedule that is higher than the state average.
Teaching Experience Credit
Teaching personnel entering Aspen Academy will be allowed credit for lead teaching experience to a maximum of six years, and that experience must have occurred within the last ten years.
Education Degree Credit
Teaching personnel's education degree credit will be established according to proof of degree earned on the first day of the contract year.
Salary Schedule Benchmark Review Schedule
The school's compensation committee will review and adjust the salary schedule, if needed, based on benchmark analysis every three years.
