Worked example as rendered: Bachelors Degree, years of experience 0 to 4 years = $3,250 a year, $270.83 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 six rows Band 1 through Band 6; the step labels here are the document's own 'Years of Experience' bands.

Document text: 'Certified Teachers & Instructional Support staff will be placed on schedule according to their teacher license... The above amounts are for 10 month of employment position. Eleven and twelve month positions will increased in a prorated manner according to their months of employment.'

Local Supplement is paid in November and May. A DSSF Bonus of 1.5% is paid on teacher salary excluding local supplement and/or advanced teacher role stipends, in June.

Approved 4/4/2023. This is the newest supplement schedule Lexington City Schools publishes: the full Apptegy document tree (all 376 files) and all 150 site pages were crawled and no 2024-25, 2025-26 or 2026-27 version exists; the district's Payroll & Purchasing page links only the NC state schedule.

Soft spot: Values fall far below the usual teacher-salary sanity band because they are local supplement dollars, not total salary.
Soft spot: Newest available document is school year 2023-24, two years behind the current year.
