Worked example as rendered: 2026-27 Base Salary, step Uncertified - 0 = $65,000 a year, $5,416.67 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The document prints the third column header as '2026-27 Base Salary', repeating the first column's label. It is the base plus the incentive allotment, so it is labelled Total Salary here.
Stipends published with the schedule: $1,500 master's degree, $3,000 doctorate.
The allotment column is blank for the uncertified, certified-0, step 1 and step 2 rows, as printed.
The middle lane is the House Bill 2 incentive allotment, not a salary; the total lane is the figure a teacher is paid.
- Soft spot: Several total cells are one dollar off the sum of the two columns as printed (steps 20, 24, 26, 31, 33).
- Soft spot: The 'Uncertified - 0' row prints a base of $65,000 and a total of $65,500 with no allotment shown; the $500 difference is unexplained in the document.
- Soft spot: The base salary column is not monotonic: it drops at steps 3 ($64,800) and 5 ($63,475) where the incentive allotment starts, so only the total column rises steadily. Verified against the rendered page image.
