Salary Schedule from the Master Agreement between the Caledonia Community Schools Board of Education and the Caledonia Education Association, September 22, 2025 - July 31, 2028.
The schedule prints 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 side by side; the 2026-2027 grid is reproduced here.
The schedule notes: Year 1 (2025-2026) steps plus a 5% on-schedule increase, with the pay scale revised to remove the old step 1, renumber the steps and add a new step 30; Year 2 (2026-2027) steps plus a 3% on-schedule increase; Year 3 (2027-2028) a salary schedule and insurance reopener.
The BA lane stops at step 20, so BA is null for steps 21-30.
Schedule B extra-duty pay is excluded.
- Soft spot: The master agreement is a scan with no text layer; the grid was transcribed from the page image at 300-400 dpi and checked cell by cell against the printed 2025-2026 column times the stated 3% increase.
- Soft spot: Three cells do not follow the stated 3% exactly, as printed by the district: MA step 4 (62,640 to 64,159, +2.4%), MA step 5 (64,957 to 66,609, +2.5%) and MA+30 step 4 (70,268 to 71,376, +1.6%). Both columns were re-rendered at 400 dpi to confirm the figures; they are reproduced as printed.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state a teacher work-day count in the pages parsed, so work_days is null.
