Worked example as rendered: Col. I: BA to 44, step 1 = $91,812 a year, $7,651.00 a month spread over 12 months, $493.61 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.
San Leandro Teachers Association (SLTA) schedule, 186 work days, reflects the 3.0% increase effective July 1, 2025; board approved April 21, 2026.
Columns IV to VII are a supplemental schedule: a member must be on Column III, Step 8 (BA+60) for one year before placement on it. Cells the district prints as '-' are blank here.
Master's ($2,005) and doctorate ($3,341) stipends are paid on top and are not included. Counselors have a separate 194-day schedule.
- Soft spot: Top cell (Col. VII step 24) is $164,482, above the usual $160,000 teacher ceiling; read as printed.
- Soft spot: 124 of 130 overlapping cells equal the 2024-25 J-90 grid times 1.03. The 6 that do not are step 15 Col. VI, step 19 Cols. IV-V (where the J-90 itself was irregular) and step 24 Cols. I-III (the district PDF's step 24 is a separate longevity step; the J-90 also carried a step 25). The district PDF is internally consistent.
- Soft spot: No 2026-27 SLTA schedule was posted as of 2026-09-27. Note slzusd.org is San Lorenzo Unified, not San Leandro; the San Leandro domain is slusd.us.
