Worked example as rendered: 180 Days, years experience 0 = $64,000 a year, $5,333.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Each lane is a contract length in days rather than a degree lane; the district pays the same teacher scale over six different calendars.
A $1,000 Master's Degree addition is printed under the schedule and is not included in the grid.
Years of experience are based on creditable years as determined by TEA Commissioner's Rules; the district states salaries are developed for one year only and future salaries cannot be predicted from the scale.
