Headed 'Canton ISD Teacher Pay Schedule, Approved 2026-2027'; the district says it reflects the classroom teacher increases required by House Bill 2 of the 89th Legislature.
The 'TEA' column is the Texas state minimum salary schedule, printed for reference; the numbered columns are Canton ISD's own scales at 187, 195, 197, 207, 214 and 226 contract days. 187 days is the classroom teacher calendar.
Master's stipend $1,000. Teacher Incentive Allotment funds are passed through 90% to the designated teacher.
- Soft spot: The TEA lane's lowest cell ($33,960) is below the brief's $28,000-$70,000 plausibility floor for a district schedule because it is the state statutory minimum, not a Canton ISD salary.
