I'm sure you have been told to be careful with having a
master's and getting hired. With 2 master's you are really
priced out of the market.

Now, to answer your question, depends on the language of the
contract you are going into. Some contracts are now stating a
cap on number of years, hours, degrees, etc they are willing to
give new hired. If the language is there, you are not likely
to get around it.

Conversely, some districts will honor both. So, sorry, can't
really answer your question here as you stated it with 100%
certainty.

Generally though, taking out any contract language, if you have
a master's and are getting another, if that master's is
education related AND they have a second master's or plus hours
post MA/MS column, you would qualify for it, but again, you
have see the contract.

Most states have some way to find these. Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan for example has their contracts online. Start looking
for the district you are considering going into.
