Always verify step/column, education differentials, and stipends (e.g., bilingual, high-need sites). Some districts offer additional days and benefits that effectively raise total comp.

Tip: When negotiating, bring a 90‑day systems plan and sample artifacts (IEP goals, BIP, coaching plan). Demonstrating systems impact often improves offers.
