Worked example as rendered: 187-Day Annual Salary, years of experience 0-1 = $58,069 a year, $4,839.08 a month spread over 12 months, $310.53 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
This table sets a new teacher's or librarian's salary for the first year only. The manual states that after year one with AISD, teachers are removed from the pay schedule and paid on the points they earn under Professional Pathways for Teachers (PPfT) plus any board-approved raise.
The district publishes a daily rate alongside each annual figure; only the 187-day annual salary is reproduced as the lane.
The manual notes that a Teacher Retention Allotment amount inside a placement reflects only verified classroom teaching experience.
JROTC instructors are paid on the 207-day schedule or at active duty rates, whichever is greater.
- Soft spot: This is the prior year. As of September 2026 the compensation page still links only the 2025-2026 Compensation Manual, even though the same page discusses 2026-27 payroll dates.
- Soft spot: The manual is published as a Google Doc; the saved raw document is its PDF export.
