Schedule notes
2026-27 certified schedule, approved/revised 7/1/26, linked from the district finance page. Figures are for the 187-day calendar (a 188-day table is also published: Rank III $42,969 to $58,326, Rank II $47,922 to $63,641). Rank labels are not defined in the document; Kentucky convention assumed (Rank III = bachelor's, Rank II = master's, Rank I = master's+30). No lane labeled doctorate, so doctorate is null. Enrollment is NCES-based.
