Worked example as rendered: Class A (BA), step 1 = $66,385 a year, $5,532.08 a month spread over 12 months, $364.75 per work day on a 182-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Board approved October 14, 2025, effective July 1, 2025; 182-day work year.
Step rows 13-15 through 25-27 are ranges as printed; '28-' is step 28 and beyond.
Steps 8-11 and the Class C step 1 cell carry a single asterisk, whose footnote reads: applies only to Driver Education and Vocational Education teachers who lack a B.A. degree.
Movement to Class C requires a preliminary or clear California credential (service from 7/1/02); in Classes C-F moving beyond step 7 requires a clear credential in the assigned subject (service from 7/1/99).
Excluded stipends: doctorate $1,500 and National Board Certification $1,500 annually.
The same PDF prints a daily-rate version of this schedule; every annual cell was checked against it (annual / 182).
- Soft spot: No 2026-27 certificated schedule was posted as of 2026-09-27 (2026-27 management and 'other' schedules are posted).
- Soft spot: Which cells the single-asterisk footnote governs is ambiguous in the layout (it sits on step labels 8-11 and on Class C step 1); all values are reproduced as printed.
