Worked example as rendered: BA+00, step 1 = $40,897.00 a year, $3,408.08 a month spread over 12 months, $218.70 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Figures are the indexed base salary: $40,897.00 times the index printed in each cell. The document also prints a second, larger figure per cell that adds a flat $9,968.76 "Base Salary - Flat" fringe-benefit amount, which is not reproduced here.
The Nurses column is indexed off a separate $43,236 base and runs only to Step 6.
The MA columns carry a 1 percent longevity step after 20 years of district service, up to an 18 percent maximum; Steps 10 and 11 exist only in the MA+36 and MA+45 lanes.
The schedule is based on 187 days.
- Soft spot: As of September 2026 the district still links this Fiscal Year 2025-2026 schedule from its employment page; no 2026-27 schedule is published.
- Soft spot: The published file is a scan whose embedded text layer garbles several figures, so the grid was read off the page image.
