Worked example as rendered: B+0, step 0 = $54,941.48 a year, $4,578.46 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section 101 of the FEA negotiated agreement. The district publishes the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 grids in one document; this is the 2025-2026 grid.
Step 13 in the M/B+36 column is footnoted "Masters Degree Only" in the source.
The agreement limits step movement to one step per year.
- Soft spot: The document the district links as its Certified Teacher Salary Schedule stops at 2025-2026, so no 2026-27 grid was published at the time of this harvest.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days, so work days is left null.
