National Board Certification In fiscal year 2018, the SC legislature passed a new proviso. The new legislation stated that candidates must have applied with National Board prior to July 1, 2018, in order to be eligible for the annual $5000 supplement. The salary supplement continues at the $7500 level for anyone who has been certified and who completed the National Board (NB) application process (as an initial candidate) prior to July 1, 2010. If a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) enters into a renewal cycle (in their 8th or 9th year of certification), he/she will receive a 2nd ten year salary supplement (at the $7500 level), if the NB process was initially started prior to July 1, 2010. The July 1, 2010 deadline refers to his/her initial application to NB. 38

National Board Certification If an NBCT waits until his/her 9th year of certification to begin the renewal process, he/she could see a lapse in the NB supplement. All NBCTs are encouraged to begin the renewal process in his/her 8th year of certification. The proviso only allows an NBCT who applied before July 1, 2010, to receive the NB supplement for a total of 20 years. Supplement eligibility is determined by the NBCT’s position in the school district. Administrative positions and coaching positions that are housed at the district office are typically not supplement eligible positions. 39

National Board Certification If a person applied after July 1, 2010, and completed the 10 entry process, and is certified by the National Board, he/she will receive an annual $5000 salary supplement in the year of achieving certification, not to exceed the 10 years of the national certificate. Supplement eligibility is further determined by the NBCT’s position in the school district. Administrative positions and coaching positions that are housed at the district office are typically not supplement eligible positions. If a person applied after July 1, 2010, and completed the 4 Component process, and is certified by National Board, he/she will receive an annual $5000 salary supplement in the year of achieving certification, not to exceed the 5 years of the national certificate. Supplement eligibility is further determined by the NBCT’s position in the school district. Administrative positions and coaching positions that are housed at the district office are typically not supplement eligible positions. 40
