Feeling incredibly defeated and discouraged. Help?

It really truly sounds like a step increase (also known as a lane change) on a teacher salary schedule. Teachers are paid for both years of experience and additional education, so a teacher with a master's degree earns more than a teacher with just a bachelor's degree.

The school I work at now just has BA and MA as lanes, but I have worked at schools where the lanes were BA, BA+12, BA+24, BA+36, MA, MA+12, MA+24, MA+36, Ed.S, Ed.D. The "plus hours" lanes are where credit by testing could be counted, and also where school districts could get very picky about what they will or will not accept.

I can understand that....but the OP holds a Masters and is collecting CLEP to earn the extra 30. I'm all for that if thats the case...but seems backwards.
