Worked example as rendered: Annual Salary, years of experience 0 = $60,149 a year, $5,012.42 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Single-column schedule: rows are years of experience, one annual salary.
Document states the salaries are based on 10-month employment for the 2026-2027 school year and that salary advancement is not guaranteed.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days, so work_days is null.
