Page 10 of the district's 2026-2027 Compensation Plan; salaries are based on 10-month employment.
The plan prints two step-0 rows, one uncertified and one certified.
- Soft spot: The district publishes the compensation plan as a Google Doc; it was exported to PDF to parse, so the direct URL is the Doc, not a static file.
