Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's Teacher, years of experience 0 = $48,000 a year, $4,000.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Mooresville Graded School District sets its own board-approved teacher salary schedule rather than reprinting the NC state schedule; the PDF is titled Fy27WebSchedules 07-01-2026 and every page is headed FY2026-27, Effective July 1, 2026.
The Bachelor's and Master's pages of the document print both a monthly amount and an Annual (10 Months) amount, and the annual amount equals the monthly amount times ten on every row. The Advanced (Sixth Year) and Doctorate pages print only the monthly (10 Months) amount, so their annual values here are the printed monthly amount times ten, using the document's own convention.
N/A in the NBPTS columns for years 0-2 is recorded as null: National Board certification is not attainable in a teacher's first three years.
The document's note reads: NBPTS stands for National Board for Professional Teacher Standards. NBPTS salary difference is based on the A (Bachelors) scale + 12% differential.
The same PDF continues with separate Instructional Support, daily-rate, guidance-counselor and school-psychologist schedules; only the three classroom-teacher pages (Bachelor's, Master's, Advanced and Doctoral) are recorded here.
MGSD also publishes a separate Mooresville Graded School District Supplement Schedules 2026-2027 document showing a 10% supplement for certified staff (12% for District Coordinator/District Specialist). The district does not state whether the amounts in this salary schedule already include that supplement.
- Soft spot: Advanced (Sixth Year) and Doctorate annual figures are derived (printed monthly amount x 10) because those two pages of the document publish no annual column.
- Soft spot: Values are flat from year 15 through year 24 and then step up once at year 25, which is how the document prints them.
- Soft spot: Read by OCR of the PDF page images because the PDF uses a custom font encoding that pdftotext cannot map; every OCR figure was cross-checked against the PDF's embedded text stream after solving the per-page character substitution, and all 8 columns x 26 rows matched.
