Worked example as rendered: BA or Year 1, step 01 = $46,966 a year, $3,913.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Board approved April 28, 2026.
The district's first five columns double as a professional-certification ladder: the header pairs each degree label with a year and, for three of them, a certificate code (IPC2, IPC3, IPC4, CCPC).
The MA or Year 3 (IPC3) and MA or Year 4 (IPC4) columns carry identical amounts at every published step.
The district notes that steps do not necessarily correlate with years of experience and that initial placement is set at hire.
A $2,500 stipend is paid for a doctorate or National Board certification, and insurance benefits are in addition to schedule amounts.
- Soft spot: The schedule does not state contract days.
