Worked example as rendered: Range 1: BA only, step 1 = $74,434 a year, $6,202.83 a month spread over 12 months, $400.18 per work day on a 186-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A (186-day work year), effective July 1, 2026, includes the 4.0% increase effective July 1, 2026; board approved Sept. 10, 2026.
Ranges 7-10 include the $2,598 master's degree stipend; lanes are in the document's printed order (Range 10 sits between Ranges 6 and 7).
Steps 13, 17, 21, 25 and 29 are the document's Longevity chart; each longevity increment ($3,434) is included in those figures.
Doctorate (+$2,598 with MA, $5,195 without) and Education Specialist ($1,301) stipends are not included. Schedule B (196 days) and other schedules in the same PDF are not included.
- Soft spot: Independent check: every Longevity 13 cell equals that range's top regular step + 3,434, and each later longevity row adds another 3,434; Range 10 equals Range 3 + 2,598 at every step.
