Published on the district's Careers page as the 2026-27 new teacher hire placement salary.
The year bands in this half of the table differ from the BA through MA half (6-11 and 12-15 here, 6-10 and 11-15 there), which is why the district's two tables are kept apart.
- Soft spot: This is a hiring-placement table rather than a full step-by-step schedule; each row covers a band of years, not a single step.
