Worked example as rendered: Bachelor/Non-Degree 9-Month, step New = $51,951 a year, $4,329.25 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The first four rows of the grid cover bands of experience rather than single years: New, steps 1-2, steps 3-5 and steps 6-8. From step 9 on each row is one year.
The schedule covers all positions requiring Alabama educator certification, including audiologists, counselors, library/media specialists, psychometrists, reading coaches and speech pathologists as well as classroom teachers.
The district states the schedule reflects 100% or more of the State Minimum Salary Schedule for the corresponding years of experience.
Department chair, athletic and other supplements are published separately and are not included.
- Soft spot: Baldwin County lists nine-month contracts as 182, 185, 187 or 189 days depending on the position, so no single contract-day figure applies to this grid and work days is left null.
