Worked example as rendered: 1 B.A., step 1 = $58,552 a year, $4,879.33 a month spread over 12 months, $319.96 per work day on a 183-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A-3 of the Brockton Education Association agreement, the September 1, 2026 schedule, a 3.00 percent increase over the 2025-2026 midpoint schedule.
The contract prints two header rows over the grid, a column number 1 through 9 and a label, so the lane names here join both, for example "4 MASTER".
As of September 1, 2026 the old Step 1 was eliminated and the steps renumbered, giving a maximum of 17 steps. Steps 10, 11 and 12 pay the same rate, as do steps 13 through 16.
The 2026-2027 work year is 180 days of student instruction plus two professional development days before the school year and one work day on Election Day, so 183 days.
- Soft spot: Longevity and the Appendix A-6 miscellaneous amounts are paid on top of the grid and are not included here.
