Worked example as rendered: BA, step 2 = $45,551.00 a year, $3,795.92 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A1 of the August 4, 2026 - August 2029 master agreement with the Avondale Education Association, MEA/NEA, which prints 26-27, 27-28 and 28-29 grids; this is the Salary Schedule 26-27.
Steps 1 and 1.5 are printed as ELIMINATED in every lane and are recorded as blanks.
A daily-rate version of the same 26-27 schedule is printed after it; dividing the annual figures by the daily figures gives a 181-day year, but the contract does not state a work-day count in words.
Appendix A2 longevity pay and the special education placement/incentive provisions are excluded.
- Soft spot: The document does not state a teacher work-day count in words, so work_days is null.
