Salary Schedule 1 of the agreement, the 2026-2027 sheet. It applies to teachers hired before 1 January 2017; teachers hired later are on Salary Schedule 2, published separately for this district.
The printed schedule starts at step 4. Staff beyond step 26 ("off step") receive a base increase of $1,650 a year instead of a step.
- Soft spot: Checked against the same schedule printed for 2022-23 and 2023-24 in the same appendix: every cell is exactly $6,600 (or $4,950) above the earlier year.
- Soft spot: The filed agreement is a scan with no text layer, so this grid was read from the page image by OCR (tesseract at 300 dpi or more, rotated where the page is printed sideways) rather than from machine-readable text.
