Titled FY 2026 Teacher Compensation Schedule, classroom teachers, based on 190 days / 8 hours per day.
The document prints Annual, Semi-Monthly and Daily rows per step; the Annual row is recorded.
No experience credit is given on the BT-4 lane, so it is flat.
- Soft spot: This is the newest teacher schedule the district posts; the FY27 document on the payroll page is a pay-date calendar, not a salary schedule.
