Worked example as rendered: Base Salary, step 0 = $60,000 a year, $5,000.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Page 1 of the Princeton ISD salary scales document, board approved April 20, 2026.
The middle column is a $2,000 signing and annual returning bonus paid as a lump sum in September, not base pay; the Total Salary column is the district's own sum of the two.
The same document prints a Non-Certified Classroom Teacher scale that starts at $59,000 base at step 0.
A separate holiday match of up to $20 per month ($240 a year) is paid as a lump sum in November.
- Soft spot: The bonus lane is a flat $2,000 at every step rather than a salary column, so it falls outside the usual teacher-salary sanity range.
