Appendix A-3, '2025-2026 Salary Schedule; 2% increase', of the 2023-2026 agreement between the Alpena Board of Education and the Alpena Education Association MEA-NEA. This is the newest grid the contract contains and the contract is the one the district posts as its current teacher contract.
The last four rows are the contract's longevity block, headed 'Longevity - Representative of base plus longevity', with the district's own labels 21-23 (1%), 24-26 (2%), 27-28 (3%) and 29 + (4%).
A PhD is paid the Ed.S column plus $3,000; there is no separate PhD column.
The BA lane flattens at $56,716 from step 14 onward, as printed.
- Soft spot: The salary tables are images inside the PDF with no text layer; the grid was read from the page image at 160 and 300 dpi.
- Soft spot: The schedule page notes an additional 1% increase would apply if the 2025-2026 foundation allowance rose by $200 or more per pupil, in which case a new schedule would be published. No such newer schedule is posted.
- Soft spot: Work days are not stated for 2025-26; the contract's 2024-2025 calendar page states 180 instructional days and 187 work days.
