Worked example as rendered: I: BA, step 1 = $63,155.24 a year, $5,262.94 a month spread over 12 months, $345.11 per work day on a 183-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule G, 'Eleven months - 183 days', linked as 'G salary schedule - 183 days - teachers and nurses 25-26', effective 1-Jul-25 (document stamped 7/22/2025).
Annual figures only; the document also prints monthly and daily rates for each cell.
Steps run 1-15, then 20, 25 and 30. Column I ends at Step 8, Column II at Step 10.
A doctoral increment of $1,000 per year is paid for an earned doctorate and is excluded.
SH = semester hours, QH = quarter hours. Separate schedules C (librarian), E (SLP/psychologist), F and H (counselors) are excluded.
- Soft spot: Cell values match the 2024-25 J-90 figures this page previously showed (e.g. Step 1 BA 63,155, Step 30 VI 118,867), so 2025-26 appears to carry no increase.
- Soft spot: Link is an aptg.co short link (https://aptg.co/FtT0Tn) resolving to the Apptegy file CDN; no 2026-27 schedule is posted as of 2026-09-27.
