Historically, CTE faculty at Mohave College had been paid on the traditional salary schedule with other faculty. This resulted in significant pay disparity that could not be easily rectified. Following a transition off-load to pay scales more reflective of industry pay, CTE faculty now receive much more equitable pay. The last hurdle to overcome was that of overload pay. Come see the process that established overload pay based on actual schedules and other aspects of faculty work.
