The PDF is titled "New Hanover County Schools / Local Supplement Schedules"; the landing page labels the link "Local Supplement Schedule (2026-2027)". The grid recorded here is the "Certified Teachers & Instructional Support" table (the other tables on the sheet are assistant principals and principals and were not recorded).
The document also publishes monthly amounts ($700-$1,000 base, $900-$1,200 hard to fill); the annual columns are recorded here.
"Hard to Fill" is the district's premium column for hard-to-fill assignments.
- 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: The PDF itself carries no year label; the 2026-27 school year comes from the landing-page link text and the file name Local_Supplements_26-27.pdf.
