Additionally, an exception to be able to move multiple education lanes in a particular school year may be made with the written approval of the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources.

When the mill levy override passed, Teachers who previously turned in qualifying credits and could have advanced on the salary schedule earlier in the school year were paid retroactively to such time as they would have qualified for such movement had lane movement not been suspended.
