The district publishes this one-page 'Educator Pay Scale' for 2026-27 on its YCEA Salary Schedule page; separate sheets are posted for 2027-28 and 2028-29.
Steps are lettered A through P. The Non - Certified lane stops after step E; those cells are blank in the document.
The Ancillary lane prints the same figures as the Master's lane at every step.
- Soft spot: The PDF itself carries no district name or school-year heading beyond '2026/27'; provenance rests on the district-hosted URL and the page that links it.
- Soft spot: No teacher work-day count is stated on the sheet.
