Human Resources → Educator Certification Information → Current Educators → Salary Advancement → Placement on the Master's Plus 30/Master's Equivalent Plus 30 Salary Lane (M/MEQ+30)
In addition to the credit needed to qualify for the master's and master's equivalent salary lane, 30 semester hours (shrs) of graduate credits from a regionally accredited college/university and/or CPD credits must be earned to qualify for the M/MEQ+30 salary lane. In general, to qualify for this placement, a teacher must earn 60 shrs of acceptable post-baccalaureate credit. If a master's degree includes more than 30 shrs of graduate credit, those additional graduate credits are creditable toward the 60 shrs of acceptable post-baccalaureate credits required for the M+30 salary level.
For teachers of trades and industry subjects not requiring a bachelor's degree, placement on this salary lane may be earned with 30 shrs of acceptable credit completed in addition to the 36 shrs for the APC.
