Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $51,875 a year, $4,322.92 a month spread over 12 months, $280.41 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Values are the Total row of the district's FY27 schedule: district BASE salary plus the State of Iowa Teacher Salary Supplement (TSS). The document publishes BASE, TSS and Total for every cell.
Taken from Exhibit A of the 2025-2028 master contract between the district and the Davenport Education Association. The same document also contains the FY26 (2025-26) grid.
Contract year is 185 days (Article III, Section 3.1).
The last five rows cover step ranges (16-19, 20-22, 23-25, 26-28, 29-32) exactly as published.
The NURSE column is the district nurse lane printed in the same grid; it carries no Teacher Salary Supplement, so its Total equals its BASE.
- Soft spot: The standalone 'Teacher Wage Schedule' PDF posted on the HR resources page was still the FY26 grid when checked; the FY27 grid used here comes from the ratified master contract covering 2025-2028.
- Soft spot: BA and BA+15 are flat across several consecutive steps (for example BA is $62,417 at both step 11 and step 12) as published.
