Worked example as rendered: B.A. Degree, level 0 = $50,000 a year, $4,166.67 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The 9 Month Teacher schedule, which the manual states also covers school counselors, librarians, therapists and specialists.
A Proposition 3 supplement worth 14% of annual salary is paid on top of these figures and is not included in the grid.
Teachers with 21 or more years of qualifying experience are placed instead on the separate Proposition 3 schedule printed in the same manual.
The manual also publishes 10, 11 and 12 month versions of the teacher schedule, a Teacher Effectiveness Stipend schedule and a part-time teacher schedule.
- Soft spot: The posted PDF carries a DRAFT watermark and reads 'Adopted June XX, 2025'; no final signed version is posted.
- Soft spot: As of September 2026 the district publishes only the 2025-2026 manual; no 2026-2027 salary schedule was found on the site.
- Soft spot: Six rows (Levels 13, 14, 18, 19, 31, 32) were broken across lines by the watermark in the text layer; their values were read from the page and match the schedule's constant per-level increments, which every other row also follows exactly.
