YEAR 1, 2026-27 Clark EA Teachers Salary Guide, carrying a 3.25% increase over the 2025-26 base year printed beside it. The Clark Education Association posts the ratified contract; the district's own site does not.

Steps 15A and 17A are the district's own step labels and are printed that way on the guide.

Two documents print this same guide: the ratified contract, which is a scan, and the association's text-layer Guides to Print at https://clarkea.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/409/2026/05/Guides-to-Print.pdf . The figures here were read from the text layer and then checked cell by cell against an OCR pass of the scanned ratified contract; all 80 cells agreed.
