Worked example as rendered: 26-27 Annual Salary, years experience 0 non-certified = $63,000 a year, $5,250.00 a month spread over 12 months, $336.90 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Published as a table on the district's compensation page. The scale has no degree lanes; the district's 2026-27 compensation flyer quotes a first-year certified teacher salary of $63,500 and a first-year uncertified salary of $63,000, which are the first two rows here.
The page also prints daily rates for a 187-day returning classroom teacher and a 191-day new hire classroom teacher, and an annual figure for a 226-day calendar; only the 26-27 annual salary is reproduced as the lane.
Returning teachers and T-types with satisfactory appraisals received a $1,000 raise at 1 to 3 years and a $2,000 raise at 4 or more years for 2026-27.
Annual critical needs stipends: bilingual classroom $6,000, local resource special education or ICTS teacher $2,000, central program special education classroom teacher $4,000.
The district publishes separate scales for non-087 T-types (LITE, nurse and others) and for counselors.
