Worked example as rendered: 2024-2025 Salary, experience 0 = $45,000 a year, $3,750.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From the Mineral Wells ISD 2025-2026 Compensation Plan, board approved September 8, 2025.
The Notes column in the document reads 'Salary + $4000' for 0-4 years of experience and 'Salary + $8000' from 5 years on; the second lane is that supplemented figure.
The 26+ row prints '* See Below' in both columns rather than a dollar amount, so both cells are null; the footnote is '$300 raise every MWISD year after step 25'.
Base salary range printed alongside: 10-month minimum $49,000, maximum $75,380.
$1,000 general master's degree stipend. Salaries are based on 10-month employment.
A separate table in the same plan gives 10-month and 11-month rates for librarians, nurses and other staff paid on the teacher scale.
- Soft spot: The first lane is the district's own 2024-2025 salary column, printed in the 2025-2026 plan as the base the TRA supplement is added to.
