Placement on Column. Each teacher shall be eligible for and shall receive the highest salary to which his/her highest academic preparation and experience entitles him/her. On the Teacher Salary Schedule, Section D of this Article, each vertical column shall represent an earned degree from an accredited institution of higher learning or an intermediate column between earned degrees representing additional earned graduate credit semester hours not already counted in an earned degree. To be eligible for an appropriate degree column the teacher must have earned the degree that column requires. His/her placement on an intermediate track higher than the degree track to which he/she is entitled is contingent upon his/her having earned the additional number of graduate semester hours which that track specifies. Such additional graduate hours are credit semester hours (or their equivalent in quarter hours) not already counted in an earned degree.
