Worked example as rendered: BA, step 6 = $51,079 a year, $4,256.58 a month spread over 12 months, $274.62 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.

Appendix A of the agreement between the Bridgeport Education Association and the Bridgeport Board of Education for July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2028. The agreement prints one grid per year; this is the 2026-2027 grid.

The grid's first five rows are printed with no step number and $0 in every lane. The 2024-2025 page notes "Remove Steps 3, 4 & 5", so these are retired steps; they are omitted here rather than recorded as zero.

The schedule note reads: all teachers not already on step 16 will advance one step in 2026-27.

Appendix B adds a $750 stipend for a Ph.D. (not available to teachers hired on or after July 1, 2014) and sets Group V teachers 6% above the same class and step.

Article 12.1.1 sets the contractual work year at 186 days.

A separate step 17 is added in 2027-2028, the last year of the agreement.

Soft spot: Because the first five rows carry no step label and no dollar value, this record starts at step 6; a reader comparing it with the printed page will see five blank rows above it.
