Worked example as rendered: B.A CERT, step 0 = $45,241 a year, $3,770.08 a month spread over 12 months, $249.95 per work day on a 181-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix B of the 2025-2028 master agreement between Chippewa Valley Schools and the Chippewa Valley Education Association, MEA/NEA Local 1.
The contract prints three grids (2025-26, 2026-27, 2027-28); this is the 2026-27 grid, which the agreement describes as a 3% on-schedule increase over 2025-26.
A second table printed beside the schedule is a separate 3% off-schedule payment made on the December 15 check, not part of the annual salary; it is excluded here.
Steps advance in half-steps. The B.A and B.A VOC tracks end at step 10; steps 10.5 and 11 exist only on the master's tracks.
The teacher work year in the contract calendars is 180 student days / 181 teacher days.
- Soft spot: The agreement states the illustrated schedules assume the failure of HB 6058 / repeal of PA 152 and are subject to an attached Letter of Agreement, so the printed figures could be superseded.
- Soft spot: The 2027-28 grid printed in the contract is identical to 2026-27 because that year carries a possible wage re-opener.
