Worked example as rendered: Classroom Teachers (more than 4 hours of daily direct student instruction): Base Salary, step 1 = $63,000 a year, $5,250.00 a month spread over 12 months, $336.90 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.
Salaries apply to 187- and 190-day calendars for employees holding a bachelor's degree.
Step 1 is 0 teaching years completed, so the district's step number is one more than years completed.
Total compensation is base salary plus the state retention allotment. For classroom teachers that allotment is $515 at steps 1 to 3, $2,500 at steps 4 and 5, and $5,000 from step 6 up; for educators on the teacher pay scale it is $515 at every step.
A master's degree adds a $1,100 stipend and a doctorate a $2,200 stipend.
- Soft spot: The published sheet has six money columns; the two state retention allotment columns are reported in the notes rather than as lanes, because they are allotments and not salary figures.
