Worked example as rendered: 102 (BA Degree), step 1 = $53,831 a year, $4,485.92 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Published as an HTML table on the district's Licensed Salary Schedules page under the heading Licensed Salary Schedule 2026-27.
The district numbers its lanes 102 through 108 and prints the degree requirement in the same header cell; both are kept in the lane labels above.
The district footnotes the graduate-hour columns with a hash mark; the schedule itself gives no further explanation on the page.
Step 17 exists only in the top lane (108); the same page also prints the 2025-26 schedule.
- Soft spot: The page does not state the contract work year, so work_days is null.
