Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's, years of experience 0 = $54,606 a year, $4,550.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Steps are years of experience; the district also assigns an internal Lawson step number (50 through 88) to the same rows.
The step 0 annual salary includes 4 supplemental district scheduled work days and the step 1 annual salary includes 2 supplemental district scheduled work days, per the schedule's footnotes.
The last row covers 38 or more years of experience.
The schedule also publishes an hourly rate for every cell; only the annual salary is recorded here.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days, so work_days is left null. The published hourly and annual figures imply a 190-day, 7.5-hour schedule (for example step 2 bachelor's: $54,634 annual divided by $38.34 hourly = 1,425 hours), but the PDF never says so.
