The document prints a single grid titled '2024 - 2028 Salary Scale' in the July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2028 Master Agreement between Grand Ledge Public Schools and the Eaton County Education Association / Grand Ledge Education Association (MEA/NEA); it is in force for 2026-27.
This copy of the contract was posted 2026-07-20 and includes all letters of agreement and memoranda of understanding; none of them changes the salary scale.
Calendar: 180 instructional days / 184 teacher work days for K-12 teachers.
Longevity stipends (from 2026-27: $1,000 at 5-9 years up to $2,500 at 30+ years) and the Schedule B coaching scale are excluded.
