190-day teacher schedule from the district's FY 2025-2026 salary schedule booklet (marked FINAL 8.27.25).
The same booklet repeats the grid at 200, 210 and further contract lengths; the 190-day grid is recorded.
No experience credit is given on the BT-4 lane, so it is flat.
- Soft spot: This is the newest booklet posted on the HR page as of 2026-09-08; no FY 2026-2027 booklet was published there.
