Worked example as rendered: Zapata Co. ISD 2025-2026, step 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.
Document is the Zapata County ISD 2025-2026 Compensation Plan 'TEACHER SCALE' page.
The page prints four columns: the 2024-2025 salary, the increase, the 2025-2026 salary and a daily rate. Only the current 2025-2026 column is recorded here.
The page also states a 10-month hiring range of $51,000 minimum to $73,210 maximum.
Three extra rows below the step grid ('DOI' $44,145, '3 and 4' $46,845, '5+' $50,845) are a separate District of Innovation scale and are excluded.
- Soft spot: The document does not state contract days. The printed daily rates (e.g. $273 against $51,000) imply about 187 days, but that is not stated, so work_days is null.
