Worked example as rendered: BA, step 4 = $54,503 a year, $4,541.92 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Connecticut has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Every district bargains its own, and the Connecticut Education Association collects them all into one annual compendium; this grid is that district's page from it.
Lane structures are bargained locally, so the columns here are this district's own and do not match the district next door.
The compendium prints negotiated schedules through 2028-29; the grid shown is this district's 2025-26 one, the year in force.
