Worked example as rendered: BA, step 3 = $45,910 a year, $3,825.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The district labels this a 1.5% increase from 2023/24 with full step movement.
Steps 1 and 2 are not published; the scale begins at Step 3.
L1 is a longevity level 1% above Step 11 for teachers with 10 or more years completed in Ann Arbor under the AAEA agreement; L2 is 2% above Step 11 for teachers with 14 or more years, and the L2 value includes an additional $750 per the March 2023 tentative agreement.
The rows marked "+ 1% (Highly Effective or Effective)" are the district's own on-schedule 1% addition for those evaluation ratings, printed as separate rows on the schedule.
Members with 17 or more years of service also receive a $2,500 longevity payment on the second December pay.
Teacher base pay is listed as $41.59 and Appendix V points at $7.57.
- Soft spot: This is the most recent AAEA teacher schedule the district publishes; as of September 2026 its contracts and calendars page still lists only "AAEA Salary Schedules 2024-25", so the record is two school years behind.
- Soft spot: The schedule is a scanned page with no embedded text layer, so the grid was read off the page image.
- Soft spot: The schedule does not state contract days.
