'SLEA Salary Table', marked 2026/27 SY, posted under Current Bargaining Agreements on the district's Transparency Reporting page alongside the SLEA contract for August 16, 2026 - August 15, 2027.
The sheet is footed 'Roundup formula'.
Steps 1 through 9 and step 11 are each 4.5% above the step below; steps 10 and 12 are larger jumps. That pattern was used to check the transcription.
- Soft spot: The posted PDF is a scan with no text layer, so the figures were read off the page image; there is no OCR tool available to re-extract them.
- Soft spot: The SLEA master agreement PDF on the same page is also a scan, so no contracted teacher work-day count could be sourced.
