Worked example as rendered: Amount, experience 0-4 = $48,583 a year, $4,048.58 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The salary schedule book states this placement schedule is used ONLY for initial salary placement, and that IRCEA and the district agree cells and steps are no longer useable to calculate an individual teacher’s salary.
Advanced degrees are a supplement and not part of base pay: Masters $2,953, Specialist $3,909, Doctorate $4,874, and only for a degree in the area of certification for staff hired on or after July 1, 2011.
Effective July 1, 2020 all salary increases are percentage based and applied after board approval.
- Soft spot: Because the district treats the grid as an initial-placement table only, a returning teacher’s actual salary will not match the row for their years of experience.
