Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's Degree, step 1 = $47,549 a year, $3,962.42 a month spread over 12 months, $261.26 per work day on a 182-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From Schedule A1 of the 2024-2027 agreement between the Bangor School Committee and the Bangor Education Association; the same schedule prints 2024-25 and 2025-26 scales on the preceding pages.
Steps 1 through 3 carry the same salary, as do Steps 17 through 21.
The CAS/EdS column covers a Certificate of Advanced Study, an Education Specialist degree, a second master's, or 30 hours beyond the master's for teachers active in a doctoral program.
The agreement states the teacher work year is 182 days.
- Soft spot: The contract is a scanned document with no embedded text layer, so the grid was read off the page image. Ten cells whose scan was ambiguous were resolved against the schedule's own arithmetic (each column is the next column shifted two steps, and each step is 4% above the one below): Bachelor's Steps 11, 17 and 20; Master's Steps 2, 10 and 14; CAS/EdS Step 10; Doctorate Steps 4, 9 and 13.
