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.
