Schedule notes
Schedule A, Teachers and Librarians, 185 days, board approved 6/17/2026. Start is fully credentialed Class I step 1 (non-credentialed step 0 is $62,302). Master's and doctorate pay is a flat add-on ($1,000/yr for MA, $1,500 for doctorate, non-cumulative), not a separate column, so master_start, master_max and doctorate_max are left null rather than computed. Max ($119,769) is the schedule's printed Class IV level 10 figure with the 8% career increment at 15 years; further $5,000 (21-25 yrs) and $10,000 (26+ yrs) career increments are listed but no combined total is printed. Class IV level 10 base is $110,898. Steps shown are Class I. The PL column was eliminated 7/1/2026.
