Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $41,325 a year, $3,443.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Base salary (BA Step 1) is $41,325. The district calls this a "4.5 by 4" schedule: each 9 approved graduate credit hours moves an employee 4.5 percent across, and each step adds 4 percent of base through Step 16.
Steps 17 and 22 are longevity steps worth an extra 2 percent of base; the remaining longevity steps add 1 percent each.
The document prints two combined column headings, BA+36 over MA and MA+36 over Specialist, and PhD over EdD; those pairings are kept in the lane labels.
Published inside the district hiring brochure, which also states a 2027-28 base of $41,550.
- Soft spot: A few printed cells do not equal the printed index times the $41,325 base: Step 5 Specialist, Step 15 and Step 18 MA+27, and Step 17 Specialist. The figures are reproduced exactly as published.
- Soft spot: The brochure gives 175 student days but does not state teacher contract days, so work_days is left null.
