Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's, step 0 = $3,562.30 a year, $296.86 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
These are LOCAL SUPPLEMENT amounts paid on top of the NC state salary schedule, not total salary.
The document labels the steps A0-A35+ in the Bachelor's table and M0-M35+ in the Master's table; they are recorded here as 0-35+.
The document's "Annual" column is recorded. It also prints 10-month, 11-month and 12-month installment amounts, which are the annual figure divided by 10, 11 and 12.
Gaston County Schools publishes no standalone supplement page; this schedule appears on page 20 of the Board of Education Budget Request 2026-2027 (the identical table also appears in the Superintendent's Budget Request 2026-2027).
This is the 2025-2026 schedule, the newest Gaston has published; the FY2026-27 request had not published an updated supplement table as of 2026-09-08.
- Soft spot: Values fall far below the usual teacher-salary sanity band because this is a local supplement schedule, not a total-salary grid.
- Soft spot: Source is a budget request document rather than a standalone HR salary-schedule posting.
