In order to receive Master's pay, your degree must be aligned to what you are teaching.  DPS will follow state licensure guidelines to determine degree relevancy. For example:  If you have a Master's Degree in Business Administration (MBA), and you are teaching a Business class, then you will be paid at your step on Master's salary schedule.  If you have a Master's Degree in Music, but you are teaching Art, you will not be paid on the Master's schedule.  

 

If you would like to be considered for Master's pay for the 2024-2025 school year, you must fill out this form.  If you are approved to receive Master's pay, your Licensure Specialist will inform staffing if you are a new employee to DPS, or they will complete a salary adjustment form for current employees.  Your Licensure Specialists are Eduardo Garcia (Last Name A-K) or Berna Sellers, (Last Name L-Z).

 

In order for our licensure department to determine if you meet the Master's pay criteria, please upload the following information: 

• Your current teaching license indicating your Master's degree/area OR
• Your Master's Degree transcript with your conferred date
