and recognized as outlets for licensure and employment in K-12 public education. The teacher and
administrator salary schedule shall pay $50 per completed and documented graduate credit up to a limit of
20 hours. Graduate hours completed beyond the 20 must be certified in writing by a graduate advisor as
progression toward an M.A./MSE, ED.S. or ED.D/PH.D program of study terminating in a degree program
needed by standards or licensure in K-12 public education. Pursuing an advanced degree in an area of
personal interest outside the scope of K-12 education will not be paid.
Payment for additional completed graduate work shall be accomplished by district method. That method iof
payment will be to add the value of the extra hours to the contract in force, if official transcripts are received
by the superintendent’s designee by either of the two deadlines: September 10 or January 10. While official
transcripts can be turned in at any time other than by these deadlines, payment under a revised contract
will not occur until the new school year’s contracts are issued.
