Worked example as rendered: State Salary, years of experience 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.
Columns are printed as issued. 'State Salary' is the Texas statutory minimum for that year of experience, 'LISD Base' is the district's own base, 'State Allotment' is the House Bill 2 teacher retention allotment ($4,000 at 3 to 4 years, $8,000 from 5 years on), and 'LISD Total Salary' is LISD Base plus the allotment.
The allotment cell is blank for 0 to 2 years of experience and is null here.
Add $1,000 for a Master's degree.
The district states the schedule applies to 2026-2027 only, is compensated for 187 days, and that LISD contributes at least $2,700 annually per employee toward health insurance.
The same page publishes matching librarian and nurse schedules, which are not reproduced here.
- Soft spot: The State Salary and State Allotment columns are not the district's pay; they are reference columns printed on the sheet.
