Worked example as rendered: Bachelor, step Entry Level Non-Certified = $60,500 a year, $5,041.67 a month spread over 12 months, $323.53 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.
Approved by the Board of Trustees on June 17, 2026, effective July 1, 2026. The district states the board did not approve any salary increase for 2026-2027.
The scale has two entry-level rows, one for a non-certified and one for a certified beginning teacher, before step 1.
Some employees are paid more than the amounts shown because of stipends or extended work days.
- Soft spot: The district's own document link is labelled '2026 - 2027 Compensation Plan' but points to a file named 25-26CompensationPlan.pdf; the document itself is titled 2026-2027 and its schedule page is headed 2026-2027, so the file name is a district naming slip.
