Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $44,757 a year, $3,729.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A-1, 2026-2027, from the Gull Lake Community Schools collective bargaining agreement 2025-2027 (page 68 of the saved PDF; Schedule A-1 for 2025-2026 is on page 67).
The document does not lay the lanes out as a single grid: each lane is printed as its own three-column block (lane / step / amount). They are combined here into one step-by-lane grid.
The BA and BA+18 lanes run to step 27; the MA, MA+15 and MA+30/EDS lanes stop at step 21, so those three are null for steps 22-27.
The MA+15 lane is headed 'Grandfathered' in the document.
MA+30/EDS pays the same amount, $57,446, on steps 1 through 4 as printed.
Schedule B extra-responsibility pay is a percentage of the BA schedule capped at the 10th step and is excluded.
- Soft spot: The whole agreement is a copier scan with no text layer, so this grid was transcribed from the page rendered at 300 dpi. Checks used: BA+18 equals BA plus a constant $668 on every step from 14 to 27 and plus $661 on most steps from 2 to 13, and MA+15 equals MA plus the same $661/$668 differentials from step 2 to step 19.
- Soft spot: The differential is not perfectly constant in the printed document: BA+18 minus BA is $667 at step 1, $660 at step 6 and $662 at step 7, and MA+15 minus MA is $236 at step 1, $444 at step 20 and $220 at step 21. Those cells were re-rendered and re-read; they are printed that way.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state a teacher contract-day count in a machine-readable form, so work_days is null.
