Schedule A of the Contractual Agreement between Byron Center Public Schools and the Byron Center Education Association (KCEA/MEA/NEA), 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
The agreement prints a 2026-2027 and a 2027-2028 Schedule A; the 2026-2027 grid is reproduced here. It reflects a single step increase and a 5% increase on the base of Schedule A for 2026-2027.
The schedule is not continuous: after step 12 it jumps to steps 16, 18, 20, 23, 25 and 28, exactly as printed.
Each lane is printed with an accompanying index column (a multiplier of BA step 1); the index columns are omitted here.
Schedule B extra-duty percentages, which run off a base of BA step 1, are excluded.
work_days is the '180 student days and 183 teacher days' stated in Article on the Work Year.
- Soft spot: Schedule A is an embedded image with no text layer and was transcribed from the page image; the transcription checks out against the printed index multipliers and against the 2027-2028 grid, which equals the 2026-2027 grid times the stated 4.5% increase.
