Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $42,000 a year, $3,500.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A of the 2021-2027 collective bargaining agreement between the Anchor Bay Board of Education and M.E.A./N.E.A. Anchor Bay Education Association (ABEA) prints ONE salary schedule that stands for the whole contract term; the dollar figures do not change year to year, only step placement does.
Contract note: 'Year 4 (2024-2025) - Step 1 will be removed and Step 19 added' and 'Year 6 (2026-2027) - Step 2 will be removed and Step 20 added.' On that reading, Steps 1 and 2 are no longer in use in 2026-27 and Step 3 ($45,427 BA) is the entry step.
'ND' is the non-degree lane printed on the same grid.
$1,500 per year for National Board Certification, the Appendix A-1 Vocational Education schedule, and the Appendix B extra-curricular schedules are excluded.
- Soft spot: Steps 1 and 2 are printed on the grid but the contract removes them in 2024-25 and 2026-27 respectively; they are kept here exactly as issued.
- Soft spot: The contract is dated 2022 and no later wage agreement was posted; the two 2026 memoranda of agreement on the transparency page are individual stipends and do not change the grid.
