Worked example as rendered: New Hire Salary, years of experience 0 = $61,800 a year, $5,150.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Based on 10 month employment for the 2026-2027 school year.
Uncertified beginning teachers earn $500 less than certified beginning teachers.
Stipends on top of the scale: master's degree $1,000, doctoral $500. Professional employees also receive $300 of local longevity pay at each completed five-year increment.
Employees with 31 or more years of service are limited to 50 percent of any board-approved increase, not to exceed $1,000.
- Soft spot: The source document prints step 13 as "70.113" with a period where every other figure uses a comma; it is recorded here as $70,113, which is the only reading consistent with the schedule's flat $400 increments on either side.
