Career technical education instructional staff with occupational specialist certificates receive career ladder placement based on industry experience: 2-3 years of experience equals 1 year on the ladder, 4-5 years equals 2 years, 6-7 years equals 3 years, and 8+ years equals 4 years

Pupil service staff with industry experience in fields closely related to their certificated positions receive the same experience-based career ladder placement as career technical education staff

New movement rules establish how staff initially placed on the professional compensation rung advance cells based on years of experience and meeting performance criteria, with allocations frozen at previous fiscal year levels for those who fail to meet criteria

Pupil service staff and career technical education instructional staff may use calculated industry experience years to meet eligibility requirements for professional and advanced professional endorsements
