Worked example as rendered: Bachelor Degree 189 days, level 1 = $51,581 a year, $4,298.42 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The grid is printed as two degree blocks, Bachelor Degree and Master Degree, each repeated across six contract lengths: 189, 194, 199, 204, 209 and 219 days per year.
The Bachelor lanes stop at Level 20; Levels 21 to 25 exist only in the Master lanes.
The PDF is dated 7.15.26 and headed 'as of July 1, 2026'.
The document marks recommended retention payments with red boxes; that shading is not reproduced here.
The district publishes separate Hourly, Non-Affiliated and Substitute salary schedules, which are excluded.
- Soft spot: work_days is null because the schedule itself varies contract length by lane instead of stating one figure.
