Source notes
- The table includes two pay grades. It does not identify which grade or level applies to each new driver, so the endpoints are shown as schedule values, not a confirmed starting-to-top scale.
- The district salary-schedules page says the 2026/2027 schedules were Board Approved September 22, 2026; the PDF footer says Board Approved October 13, 2026. Both dates are retained because the relationship between them is not stated.
- The $3,478 referendum supplement is listed separately and is not converted to an hourly amount.
