Worked example as rendered: Bachelor/BS, step/years 0 = $49,215 a year, $4,101.25 a month spread over 12 months, $263.18 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule B, the nine-month 187-day schedule. The district also publishes ten-month (202-day) and other certificated schedules, plus a separate TEAMS schedule.
The Non-Degree/ND column carries the same figures as Bachelor/BS at every step.
Board approved October 13, 2026.
Pay for an advanced degree begins in the monthly pay period after the State Superintendent recognizes the degree.
- Soft spot: The district's human-resources document folder posted nothing newer than the FY2026 schedule at the time of this harvest, so no 2026-27 grid was available.
