The above positions require the number of months and hours indicated unless revised and approved in writing by the

the number of duty days.
Sample Pay Grade 7
5 years experience – 12 months – 256 duty days – 8 hours:
$10.23 x 8 = $81.84 daily x 256 = $20,951.04 annual.

supervisors who work at middle and high school locations. This supplement will be paid in June on the last pay
check of the school year. In cases where a site supervisor does not complete a full school year at a middle or
