Worked example as rendered: B, step 0 = $60,375 a year, $5,031.25 a month spread over 12 months, $324.60 per work day on a 186-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section 2204 of the Galena City School District / Galena Education Association collective bargaining agreement, which runs through June 30, 2028.
The agreement prints one certified teacher pay scale for the whole 2025-2028 term, with no per-year table.
Separate GILA/SHS residential differentials ($4,000 to $5,000 by years of service) and a separate co-teacher scale are paid on top of this grid and are not included here.
Teachers who receive no step movement in a contract year get an in-lieu-of-step increase of 1.5%.
Standard work year is 186 days, or 189 days for a teacher's first year with the district.
- Soft spot: The pay scale carries no school-year heading. It is the scale in force under the 2025-2028 agreement, so it is filed here as the 2026-27 schedule and no effective date is asserted.
