Worked example as rendered: BA lane, step 1 = $47,854 a year, $3,987.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Values are the '2026-27 proposed' column of Appendix B of the GRPS/GREA tentative agreement signed December 2, 2025 and executed February 2026; the agreement states the 2026-27 schedule is a 3% increase over 2025-26 plus step advancement.
Page 2 of the same document prints four additional lanes (MA+10, MA+20, MS and PH) that are marked 'closed to new; existing staff only'. Most of their cells are shaded out and unreadable in the scan, so those lanes are not reproduced here.
The 2022-2025 master agreement based the schedule on 188 earning days; the tentative agreement replaces that with 'School Year - Based on negotiated calendar', so no contract day count is published for 2026-27.
- Soft spot: The source PDF is a scan with no text layer, so every figure was transcribed from the page image. Each 2026-27 value was cross-checked against the printed 2025-26 value times 1.03 and all 75 cells agreed.
