Worked example as rendered: BA, step 0-3 = $43,050 a year, $3,587.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The district publishes one "Teacher Salary Schedule 2025-2027" covering both years of the agreement; these are the figures in force for 2026-27.
The first row covers steps 0 through 3 as a single band.
The same document prints a second grid, "Schedule with TFFR Paid", for teachers whose Teachers’ Fund for Retirement contribution the district pays; that grid runs from $48,782 at the 0-3 band on BA to $89,632 at step 25 on MA+30 and is not reproduced here.
- Soft spot: Because one schedule covers 2025-2027, the same figures apply to 2025-26 and 2026-27; no separate 2026-27 grid is published.
- Soft spot: Contract days are not stated on the schedule, so work_days is null.
