Worked example as rendered: BSE, experience step 0 = $50,000 a year, $4,166.67 a month spread over 12 months, $263.16 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
'3.1 - Licensed Personnel Salary Schedule', page 1: 'Sheridan School District 2026 - 2027 Certified Salary Scale - 190 Days', posted in the district's Salary Information and PPC Manual / 2026-2027 folder.
Steps are years of experience 0-22; the document also prints the matching APSCN step (experience + 1).
The 2025-26 redesign collapsed the prior five columns (BSE, BSE+15, M/BSE+45, M+15, M+30) into three: BSE, Masters, M+30.
Hold-harmless: any employee negatively impacted by the 25-26 schedule changes stays at their 24-25 contracted salary until the new schedule pays more.
Additional duty, extended-day and administrator scales on pages 2-3 are excluded.
- Soft spot: Every row was machine-checked against the step increments the document prints under the grid (steps 4-5: +150/+150/+250; 6-10: +300/+400/+500; 11-15: +400/+550/+700; 16+: +600/+750/+900) and all 22 step-to-step differences match.
- Soft spot: The M+30 column is printed in parentheses (accounting format) in the PDF; read as positive dollar amounts.
