Schedule notes
FY27 Certified Salary Scales PDF, effective July 1, 2026 (hosted in the district's Google Drive folder linked from its HR page). Values are the printed GROSS SALARY column (state contribution plus local contribution, both printed). Bachelor's = A, master's = AA, doctorate = AAAA (labeled Doctorate's degree); steps 0-35 ('35 and above' recorded as step 35). A $100 loyalty supplement per 5 consecutive years is not in the grid. Enrollment is 2024-25 total from the plainschools.com Mississippi district ranking (third-party; the MDE 2025-26 download could not be pulled from this server), so it may differ slightly from the MDE 2025-26 figure used for other districts in this file.
