[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you heard that FCPS is retroactively denying teachers additional salary requests for pay raises. One of my neighbors took some classes through Idaho State University to get a MA+30 pay raise. She was approved in January, but was notified today that those classes will only count as half credits instead of full credit. Her email said as of May 1st her salary was reduced to the original amount.

She had 20 semester credits through Idaho State, but the county is saying it will only count as 10 now. Apparently it's happening to lots of other teachers. Has anyone else heard about this. Seems like a crappy way to nitpick over teachers continuing their education.[/quote]

Why did she go through a diploma mill like Idaho State? There are real, high quality local institutions with meaningful programs--on line and in person.  They probably reviewed more closely content of what she was taught and found it didn't meet requirements.  Just like teachers with some out of state licenses have to do different work to meet the licensure requirements of VA.[/quote]

They went because it is an accredited university and FCPS policy simply says you need to take coursework through an accredited university. If you emailed HR for pre-approval they would simply say they will accept any work from an accredited university. They changed their minds even though they told lots of people any work from an accredited university is fine.[/quote]
