Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's Degree, years of experience 0 = $64,000 a year, $5,333.33 a month spread over 12 months, $342.25 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.
Uncertified teachers are hired at $63,000 for Year 0; the grid shows the certified pay plan.
Scale approved for 187-day staff, or an alternative day count under the district's DOI plan; teachers assigned more than 187 days are paid their daily rate for each extra day.
- Soft spot: The 2025-26 document stated that its salaries included HB2 teacher retention pay; the 2026-27 page does not repeat that statement, so whether the retention allotment is built into these figures is not confirmed.
