Worked example as rendered: BA, step 7 = $61,497 a year, $5,124.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A-1 of the 2026-2029 agreement between the City of Waterbury Board of Education and the Waterbury Teachers Association. Schedules A-2 and A-3 carry 2027-28 and 2028-29.
Steps 1 through 6 are printed on the schedule but shaded out with no dollar values, so those rows are null.
The contract notes that the old step 20 was removed and former steps 21 and 22 were renumbered 20 and 21; teachers on steps 21 or 22 in 2025-26 are on step 21 in 2026-27.
All teachers advance one step during the 2026-27 school year.
- Soft spot: The posted contract is a scan with a rough OCR text layer; the grid was verified against the page image at 160 dpi, which corrected two OCR misreads (step 11 6TH and step 12 6TH).
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state a number of contract days for teachers, so work_days is null.
