Worked example as rendered: BA, step 3 = $55,781 a year, $4,648.42 a month spread over 12 months, $303.16 per work day on a 184-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From the ratified 2026-2029 collective bargaining agreement between the Danbury Board of Education and the National Education Association in Danbury; Appendix B-1 is the first contract year (2026-27). Appendices B-2 and B-3 carry 2027-28 and 2028-29.
The document heads the five tracks with roman numerals I, IC, II, III and IV above the labels BA, BA+30, MA, 6th and PHD; the lane labels here are the degree labels as printed.
Steps 1 and 2 are printed on the schedule with no dollar values, and the top of each track ends at a different step, so the blank cells are left null.
All teachers advance one step during 2026-2027. Teachers are compensated at a per diem rate for 184 days.
- Soft spot: The prior 2023-2026 agreement, which carried the 2025-26 schedule, is posted only as a scanned image PDF and was not parsed.
- Soft spot: Where a step pays less than the same step on a lower degree track the contract directs the Board to pay the higher figure; the grid is reproduced as printed and is not adjusted for that rule.
