Unit counts are units above BA. Steps jump from 15 to 20 and 25 as printed.
Doctorate stipend of $2,739 (Board Policy 4151.30) is not included in the grid. The CTE placement table on the same page maps CTE credentials to Ranges II-VI and is not a separate grid.
Monthly columns omitted; every yearly figure was checked to equal 12x the printed monthly figure.
- Soft spot: The district's Salaries page also links a 'rev_2' file of the same name that carries the prior (lower) grid; this record uses the file headed 'Effective 7/1/26 through 6/30/27'.
