Notes
- 2026-2027 (FY27) base salary by lane and step under the 2024-2028 CTU contract. Lanes 1-6 are education/credential lanes; steps are the 2024-28 (FY26+) step numbers 1-25.
- The contract also lists a 'Base + Step' figure and a Total Compensation figure (base plus the Board-paid pension pickup, about 7% higher) - see the source CBA.
- These figures were read from the CBA's image-only salary tables by OCR and validated; a few cells the OCR could not read cleanly are left blank. Always confirm against the source CBA.
