Worked example as rendered: Salary 187 Days, creditable years of service 0 = $64,700 a year, $5,391.67 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section 1 (Teacher Scale) of the McKinney ISD 2026-2027 Compensation Plan; the plan was board-approved with a 3.5% increase and a $64,700 certified starting salary.
The published table also prints a Daily Rate column (step 0 is $345.99); it is omitted here because this record is in annual dollars. Each annual lane is that daily rate times the stated number of contract days.
The plan separately lists a Non Certified Teacher rate of $64,000 on a 187-day calendar.
- Soft spot: The document does not state which calendar applies to a plain classroom teacher; the position list shows Teacher at 187 days.
