Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's Degree, yrs of exp 0 = $51,000 a year, $4,250.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Page 6 of the district's 2026-2027 Staff Compensation Guide, board approved 06/09/2026. The guide covers teachers and librarians on this guide.
TRA is the HB 2 Teacher Retention Allotment; 'Updated TRA Salary' is the bachelor's figure plus the TRA. Steps 0-2 get no TRA, so those cells are blank in the document and null here.
The master's column is the bachelor's figure plus the district's $500 master's degree stipend.
The guide also prints a daily rate column (step 0 $277.17) and a State Minimum column; neither is reproduced here.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the teacher contract days; the printed daily rate implies about 184 days, which is not asserted here.
