(c) In coming to a conclusion that the improved qualification would not be of benefit to the educational needs of the Division, the Division shall take into account all relevant factors and shall act reasonably and fairly having regard to all circumstances.

(d) The allowance for additional qualifications shall be paid to a teacher effective from the first day of the month following which evidence is filed with the Secretary Treasurer that such additional qualifications have been obtained.  The exception to this is evidence submitted in September or October.  The allowance here is paid retroactive to September 1st of the year in which evidence is filed with the Secretary Treasurer.

(ii) If the teacher has changed his/her academic classification since January 1, 1986, the salary to be paid him/her upon commencing employment with the Division shall be determined as if the teacher had been teaching in the Division at the time of reclassification in accordance with the provisions of this article.
