Worked example as rendered: Base Salary, years of experience Resident = $20,000 a year, $1,666.67 a month spread over 12 months, $105.82 per work day on a 189-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Grid is page 21 of the Castleberry ISD Employee Compensation Plan 2026-2027.
'Total Compensation' is the column that adds Base Salary and the HB 2 Teacher Retention Allotment; the allotment is blank below three years of experience.
'Resident' is a year-long student teacher working 4 days a week under a host teacher; 'Intern' is a teacher enrolled in an educator preparation program without a standard certificate.
Salaries are based on 10 months (189 days). A $1,250 master's stipend and an additional $1,500 doctoral stipend are paid on top and are not in the grid.
- Soft spot: The Resident row ($20,000) is far below a normal teacher salary because it is a student-teaching stipend, not a teacher contract.
