Worked example as rendered: Base, step 0 = $40,000 a year, $3,333.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Document heading is '2026-2027 PISD Techer (PEIMS 087)' (the district's own typo).
TRA is the state-funded Teacher Retention Allotment under HB 2 (89-R); LRA is the district-funded retention allotment. 'Total' is Base + TRA + LRA and every row was checked to add up.
The document prints a dash where an allotment is zero; those cells are recorded as 0 because the Total column confirms the value.
- Soft spot: The footnote under the table reads 'Total = Total salary for 25-26' while the table heading and the district's own document folder say 2026-2027. The heading was taken as authoritative.
