Reported by the district to the California Department of Education on Form J-90 (Salary and Benefits Schedule for the Certificated Bargaining Unit). Column headings are the district's own, as typed on the form.

Cells the district left blank on the J-90 are shown as blank here.

2024-25 is the final year of Form J-90. California replaced it from 2025-26 with the School Employee Salary and Benefits Data Collection (C-90) under Education Code Section 42238.016; CDE collected that first year between 1 July and 31 August 2026 and its report to the Legislature is due 31 January 2027. Until CDE publishes it, the J-90 above is the most recent statewide California salary data available.

Worked example as rendered: PS Group 20, pay scale level 1 = $75,311.16 a year, $6,275.93 a month spread over 12 months, $369.17 per work day on a 204-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

C Basis is the regular school-year assignment basis (204 paid days); the T Table also prints A, B and E basis rates, which are not shown.

Pay scale groups run from 20 (minimum points) to 27 (+98 points); levels 11 to 14 apply only at the higher groups. Career increments C1 to C4 and the master's/doctoral differentials are on the source document.

Rates reflect the 5% increase (or cap) effective July 1, 2026 under the 2025-2027 UTLA/LAUSD agreement, and are printed for July 1 through December 31, 2026.

Soft spot: Group labels are counted in table order (20 through 27); the PDF's layout splits each group across a 'continued' block for levels 11 to 14, which the parser stitches back together.
