Reflects the 0.3% increase to Appendix A effective January 1, 2026 (Board approved January 27, 2026).
Steps 19 and 23 are longevity rows printed in the document; steps 15 through 18 and 20 through 22 are not printed, so a teacher stays at step 14 pay until step 19.
Employee must possess a Master's Degree to be advanced to Column E or F. 'MA +' units are semester units earned chronologically after the Master's degree.
Schedule #9 (employees hired before 07/01/1998) and the counselor, SLP/nurse, psychologist, specialist and JROTC schedules (#15, #17, #18, #19, #21, #23, #27, #40, #50, #51) are published separately and not included here.

- Soft spot: Footer reads 'Page 5 of 12', so this PDF is one page extracted from a larger district packet.
