Worked example as rendered: Uncertified Teachers, years of experience 0 = $63,000 a year, $5,250.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The district calls this a hire-in schedule and states it is not intended to set salary levels for existing staff or to compute future earnings.
The master's rate applies once HR receives an official transcript showing the graduate degree; pay is not retroactive.
A doctorate adds a $500 differential to the initial daily rate; an employee with multiple degrees receives only one advanced degree differential.
Annual stipends on top: bilingual certified $5,000, behavior instructional specialist $3,700, deaf education teacher $3,000, special education teacher $2,000, special education structured classroom $3,500.
- Soft spot: At 24 years the master's certified column prints $78,800, which is higher than the $78,450 printed at 25 years; both figures are reproduced as published.
