Worked example as rendered: 2026-27 Annual Salary, years of experience 0 (uncertified) = $64,500 a year, $5,375.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Hiring schedule for classroom teachers as defined by Texas Education Code Sec. 5.001.
The published table builds each figure as a base annual salary plus a CFISD allotment and a state allotment; only the resulting 2026-27 annual salary is reproduced as the lane.
The district numbers these rows as steps 1 through 41, with the two step-1 rows being the uncertified and certified starting salaries; the row labels here are the district's years-of-experience labels because the step numbers repeat.
House Bill 2 requires a higher minimum for certified beginning teachers than for uncertified beginning teachers, which is why year 0 appears twice.
A master's degree adds a $2,000 stipend and a doctorate a $3,000 stipend; a teacher may receive one but not both.
The Board of Trustees adopted the 2026-27 budget and staff compensation plan on June 22, 2026. It kept the hiring schedule at the 2025-26 figures (teachers receive their regular step increase) and added a one-time $500 recruitment and retention stipend for full-time employees, which is not included in the schedule.
A further one-time $1,000 stipend for teachers depends on a November 2026 voter-approval tax rate election and is not included.
- Soft spot: Every cell is identical to the 2025-26 schedule; the district relabeled the table 2026-27. This matches the board's June 22, 2026 budget release (step pay only, no schedule raise), but the page does not say so itself.
- Soft spot: The page labels both the base column and the total column '2026-27 Annual Salary'; the total column (base plus allotments, which sums correctly in every row) is the one reproduced.
- Soft spot: The effective date is the start of the 2026-27 fiscal year; the page does not state one.
- Soft spot: The grid is published as an HTML table on the HR site, not as a PDF, so the saved raw document is the page HTML.
