Continued education on the part of licensed employees may entitle them to advancement on the salary schedule.  Licensed employees who have completed additional hours
will be considered for advancement on the salary schedule.  The board will determine which licensed employees will advance on the salary schedule for continued education
keeping in mind the financial condition of the school district, the education and experience of the licensed employee, the educational philosophy of the school district, and any
other items deemed relevant by the board.

actual year when advancement occurs.  This additional education must be in the same area as the education that was required of the employee to hold the employee's current
