Initial placement by years of experience for new hires: 0-4 yr(s) = step E2, 5 yr(s) = step E3, 6 yr(s) = step F3, 7 yr(s) = step G3, 8 yr(s) = step H3, 9 yr(s) = step I3, 10 yr(s) = step J3, 11 yr(s) = step K3, 12 yr(s) = step L3, 13 yr(s) = step M3, 14 yr(s) = step N3, 15 yr(s) = step O3, 16 yr(s) = step P3, 17 yr(s) = step Q3, 18 yr(s) = step R3.

- Soft spot: Appendix A prints no school year on the tables; the agreement term is 2025-2028 and it was board-approved 2026-05-06, so these are read as the 2025-26 rates.
- Soft spot: Top of the performance schedule ($111,720 at step AS3) is above the typical teacher-schedule ceiling but is what the agreement prints.
