Worked example as rendered: BA, step A = $46,519 a year, $3,876.58 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 2024-2025 / 2025-2026 / 2026-2027 agreement with the Berkley Education Association, MEA/NEA. The district uses letter step labels A through L.
The 2024-25 negotiations eliminated steps 1-3 and the quarter/half/three-quarter steps and smoothed the schedule to a consistent 5% between steps, which the printed grid matches.
Longevity/off-schedule payments, teacher-leader stipends and Schedule B activity pay are excluded.
- Soft spot: Appendix A is printed without a year label. The contract gives 2025-26 step movement and off-schedule payments but no schedule-wide percentage increase, so the printed grid is the schedule in force for 2025-26; it is recorded here as the 2025-26 schedule.
- Soft spot: The 2026-27 schedule is contingent (an increase tied to the foundation allowance, capped at 2.0%, and never below the 2025-26 schedule) and is not printed in the document.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state a teacher work-day count, so work_days is null.
