Worked example as rendered: Apprentice Salary, years of service 0 = $33,960 a year, $2,830.00 a month spread over 12 months, $181.60 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The sheet is headed 'Years of Service 9/1/2026'. It is the placement scale for employees new to the district in pay grade 7; the district notes apprentice and degreed apprentice staff use this scale rather than the midpoint structure.
The Apprentice column stops after 6 years of service and the Degreed Apprentice column after 20; those cells are blank in the document and are null here.
The last column is the Texas House Bill 2 teacher retention allotment, which the sheet says is applied as a lump sum to eligible employees: $0 for 0 to 2 years, $4,000 for 3 to 4 years, $8,000 from 5 years on. It is a supplement, not a salary.
The district states salaries for positions requiring more than 187 days are increased proportionately.
The apprentice column at 0 years, $33,960, is exactly the Texas state minimum salary at 0 years of experience.
- Soft spot: The PDF is a scan with no text layer, so the grid was transcribed from a 170 dpi render rather than machine-extracted.
- Soft spot: The stored file is named Teacher_Pathway_Salary_Scale_25-26.pdf and the district lists it as '26-27 Salary Schedule'; the document's own heading reads 2026-27, which is what is recorded.
- Soft spot: The HB2 allotment column is $0 to $8,000 and is far below a teacher salary; it is a printed column of the source table, not pay.
