Worked example as rendered: KEA BACHELORS, step 1 = $47,600 a year, $3,966.67 a month spread over 12 months, $250.53 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
'Appendix 3: Compensation Schedules, 2025-2026 Salary Schedules, Schedule A - Salary for Bargaining Unit Employees' from the 2025-2026 agreement between Kalamazoo Public Schools and the Kalamazoo County Education Association (KEA), entered October 29, 2025. This is the newest agreement the district publishes.
The schedule is a five-tier structure: each lane steps a teacher through the same five salary levels (A $47,600, B $58,952, C $70,305, D $81,659, E $93,010) at different rates, so many consecutive steps repeat the same figure.
Article 22 Section A also prints those five levels with daily rates ($245.36 to $479.43), which correspond to 194 total paid days for basic salary; the calendar shows 180 student instructional days plus 10 other work days = 190 total teacher reports, plus 4 paid holidays.
Excluded: Schedule B extra-duty salaries, the Behavioral Specialist schedule, and the $650 lost-planning-time stipend.
