Differential for Master’s Degree or higher degree for teachers in mid step. Those teachers in mid step on the salary schedule who complete the fifth (5th) year of teaching experience as credited in the District during a school year and have completed a Master’s degree or higher degree shall be expected to make written request for adjustment before the end of that school year. Such adjustment, prorated, shall be added to the final check of the school year. If a teacher does not notify at the completion of the fifth (5th) year and then subsequently notifies in a following year that he/she reached the fifth (5th) step and completed a Master’s or higher degree, the adjustment shall be prorated only for the year in which he/she made written notification. This does not apply to someone who completes a Master’s degree or higher degree after the completion of the fifth (5th) year.
