Schedule notes

T Table for Jul 1-Dec 31, 2026 (5% raise under the 2025-2027 UTLA/LAUSD agreement), C Basis (204 paid days). Start is Group 20, level 1. The grid is set by salary point groups and levels, not degree lanes, so no step grid is recorded. The MA and doctorate differentials are paid as small hourly add-ons (about $0.48/hr for MA), so no separate master's starting figure is printed (master_start null). Maxima are the printed Career Increment C4 (30+ years) figures at Group 27: $130,210 base, $130,794 with MA, $131,378 with doctorate; Group 27 level 14 before career increments is $121,948. A separate T Table applies Jan-Jun 2027 (https://4.files.edl.io/d2b2/10/08/26/213823-7703f42e-7b0a-4cb5-8683-301df49bea88.pdf).
