For many positions at HISD, an employee's initial pay rate depends on an evaluation of certain educational credentials. These credentials determine many aspects of pay, including the appropriate teacher pay track (bachelor's, master, or doctorate), and whether a candidate would be eligible for employment in particular job (e.g., a bachelor's degree requirement for a particular administrative position). Because of the importance of establishing the validity of educational credentials, HISD employs a formal process of evaluating an employee's educational background and for granting advanced pay placement for prior work experience. If you are not sure which salary schedule applies to your position, you may discuss this with your HISD Human Resources generalist.
