A written request must be made in advance and additional hours will count for credit on the salary schedule only if such request is approved by the Superintendent. Hours must be earned before September 1 for ensuing credit. It is the duty of the teacher earning extra credit of college hours to have such hours on file in the Superintendent's office before the end of the first nine-week period to be eligible for retroactive pay. The Superintendent may waive these stipulations if an unusual situation develops preventing the teacher from obtaining these grades.

A teacher teaching on a five-year Educator's Professional Certificate shall earn credits in alignment with North Dakota ESPB requirements.

The inservice training may be substituted with college credit at a ratio of 1 semester hour as equal to 16 clock hours. If a staff member has not met the above appropriate requirements an increment will be withheld. If in the next year, the staff member fails to meet the above appropriate requirements, said teacher's contract will not be renewed.
