Worked example as rendered: BA, index A = $50,540 a year, $4,211.67 a month spread over 12 months, $266.00 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule covers teachers, counselors, nurses and social workers and is based on 190 days, including 2 CLC days.
The lane columns are numbered I through VIII in the document; the education labels shown here are the second header row. Lane VIII is headed MA+30 with ES/DR (education specialist or doctorate) beneath it.
Rows are the district's experience INDEX letters A through Q, not raw years of service. New hires are subject to an experience index adjustment described in the district's New to District Experience Portability Schedule.
For initial placement, the maximum salary for teachers new to the district is $86,499.
The document states the schedule is adopted only for the 2026-2027 school year.
Values are the version of the grid that applies the 0.5% increase and the statutory Idaho career ladder minimums; the same PDF also prints a pre-minimum 2026-27 grid whose BA, BA+9 and BA+15 lanes top out at $52,769, $53,513 and $59,868.
- Soft spot: The PDF contains two versions of the same 2026-27 grid (page 1 plain '2026-27', page 3 '2026-27 0.5% Increase and Career Ladder Minimums') separated by a sample salary-adjustment memo that refers to 2025-2026. The career-ladder-minimum version on page 3 was taken as the operative one because Idaho code floors teacher pay at those minimums.
- Soft spot: Several lanes flatten out at the top (BA, BA+9 and BA+15 sit at $64,427, the state advanced-professional minimum, from index I onward) as published.
