Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2027), page 32 of the PDF.
The district's 2026-27 teachers' salary schedule (a 1.75% increase), the last of four year sheets in the agreement.
The district letters its columns and gives each two credit paths, for example column D is "M or B+45".
The schedule pairs its steps from step 17 on: 17 and 18 pay the same, as do 19/20, 21/22, 23/24 and 25 through 30.
- Soft spot: Checked cell by cell against the 2025-26 sheet on the preceding page: every figure is that sheet uplifted by exactly 1.75%.
- 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.
