Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $47,877 a year, $3,989.75 a month spread over 12 months, $258.79 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
'BSEA Wage Scales 2026-2027' from the BSEA Master Agreement 2024-2027 (Berrien Springs Education Association).
The agreement prints 2024-2025, 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 wage scales on consecutive pages; the 2026-2027 scales are reproduced here.
The BA scale stops at step 20; the MA scale runs to step 25, so BA is null for steps 21-25.
Steps 1, 2 and 3 pay the same amount on both scales, as printed.
Longevity is paid separately by years of service with the district (steps 5-9 $750, 10-14 $1,000, 15-19 $1,500, 20-24 $2,500, 25+ $3,500) and is excluded from the grid.
work_days is the '185 Teacher Days' stated on the 2025-26 school-year calendar in the agreement (180 student days).
- Soft spot: The agreement is a scanned document with no text layer, so the wage scales were transcribed from the page images at 200-300 dpi.
- Soft spot: The 2026-2027 extra-duty schedules elsewhere in the agreement print a 'BASE SALARY' row starting at $47,677, which does not match the $47,877 BA step 1 of the wage scale. Only the wage scale is reproduced here.
