Idaho has no statewide teacher salary schedule. The state funds a CAREER LADDER that pays an allocation per rung, and each district then bargains its own dollar schedule; this grid is the salary appendix of this district's negotiated master agreement.
The rows are career-ladder rungs, not years of service: R1-R3 is the residency tier, P1-P10 professional and L1-L7 leadership.
Published by the Idaho School Boards Association, which posts the agreements districts send it. Not every district is covered and a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
