Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's, step 0 = $57,634 a year, $4,802.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
FY27 pay plan approved July 8, 2026.
The division states that placement on the salary schedule does not necessarily equate to years of teaching experience, and that Master's +30 requires 30 graduate credit hours earned after the master's was conferred.
Several licensed positions on this scale carry extra contract days and annual supplements listed separately in the plan.
- Soft spot: The plan does not print a base contract length next to the scale, so work_days is left null.
