Worked example as rendered: BA, step 0 = $52,000.00 a year, $4,333.33 a month spread over 12 months, $279.57 per work day on a 186-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Titled "2026-2027 Initial Certified Salary Placement Schedule & Dean of Instruction". Governing Board approved April 23, 2026, effective July 1, 2026.
The document states salaries are based on a 186-day contract and do not reflect the three furlough days for 2026-2027.
Column headings are printed on two lines, so most columns carry both a master's and a bachelor's credit label (for example MA / BA+45).
Up to 7 years of experience may be granted above the minimum at 1.5% per year, and up to 10 years for hard-to-fill areas. Movement after initial placement comes through the annual Professional Growth process or board-approved increases.
Classroom Site Fund and Instructional Improvement (gaming) dollars are embedded in these amounts; performance pay (up to $3,500) is not.
- Soft spot: This is the district's initial-placement schedule for new certified hires. Peoria does not publish a separate continuing-teacher step schedule, so the steps here are years of granted experience at hire rather than years of service in the district.
