Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's (IT1), 196 days, years of experience 0 = $47,500 a year, $3,958.33 a month spread over 12 months, $242.35 per work day on a 196-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix C of the Dixie instructional contract, ratified 12 September 2023 and covering July 2023 through June 2026. All three lanes are bachelor lanes at 196, 216 and 250 days, 7.5 hours a day.
The 216 and 250 day lanes stop at 20 years of experience; the 196 day lane continues to 25.
Advanced degree supplements differ by hire date. Hired before 1 July 2011: Masters $2,625 / $2,920 / $3,225 and Specialist or Doctorate $3,198 / $3,200 / $3,500 by lane. Hired on or after that date, and only with the degree in the area of certification: Masters $2,000, Specialist $2,500, Doctorate $3,000.
Performance pay adds $1,000 for a highly effective and $750 for an effective rating. A PSC grandfathered teacher rated effective or better moves one step, and a teacher with 26 or more years so rated receives a $500 step.
The contract notes adjustments are pending no state budget cuts to the FEFP allocation and stable district FTE.
- Soft spot: The contract PDF is a scan with no text layer. Every annual figure was checked against the hourly rate printed beside it times the lane hours per year (1,470, 1,620 and 1,875); all 26 rows reconcile to within about five dollars of rounding.
- Soft spot: The contract runs to June 2026, so the same table is the district schedule for 2025-26; the district publishes no separate 2025-26 sheet.
