The document is titled "Teacher Salary Scale 2025-2026 (except Special Education)"; the district publishes a separate SPED teacher scale.
SLPS uses three experience bands rather than annual steps: Step A = 0 to 3 years, Step B = 4 to 6 years, Step C = 7 or more years.
Only teachers hired before July 1, 2009 are eligible for the BA + 15 level.
The document also prints a bi-weekly rate beside each annual figure; only the annual salary is reproduced here.
- Soft spot: The district page states these are the Board approved schedules for fiscal year 25-26; no 2026-27 teacher scale is published yet.
- Soft spot: The PDF metadata title reads "Teacher Salary 25-26 (draft).xlsx" even though the page presents it as Board approved.
- Soft spot: Contract days are not stated, so work_days is null.
