Schedule notes
SEA negotiated agreement, Article X and Appendix B (scanned document). The 2026-27 base is $50,750 and the maximum full-time contract salary is $91,933.28 for any teacher. New hires are placed on a unit-based schedule from $50,750 (0-30 units) to $56,750 (241-270 units); a master's degree counts 150 units, but placement also depends on experience and credits, so master's start and lane maximums are left null. Added because several top-10 districts post no schedule. Enrollment is the PK-12 total from the SD Department of Education 2025-26 Fall Enrollment Census.
