Schedule notes
The district does not post a 2026-27 teacher salary schedule on its website. Figures are the district's 2025-26 certified schedule as reported to the Kentucky Department of Education in its Certified Salary Schedule (2014-2026) workbook (2026 sheet, Fiscal Year 2025-2026, base step column). Bachelor's = Rank III, master's = Rank II; years of experience 0-30, after which pay stays flat. Rank I (master's+30) runs $54,083 to $78,304. No doctorate lane is reported. Some years list a second sub-step column, which is not used here.
