Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1.0 = $44,157 a year, $3,679.75 a month spread over 12 months, $241.30 per work day on a 183-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From the 2023-25 LOEA master agreement (the newest LOEA contract posted by the district); 2024-2025 is the last year it prints.
The contract prints the 2024-2025 year as TWO grids: a whole-step grid (steps 1.0-14.0) for staff who were on a full step in 2023-2024 and a half-step grid (steps 1.5-12.5) for staff who were on a half step. This record interleaves them by step label; no value was altered.
Both 2024-2025 grids also list step 14.0 with the same values.
Excludes the separate longevity schedule and the $3,000 Pine Tree Center Center-Based Program stipend.
- Soft spot: The district posts no LOEA agreement newer than 2023-25, so the current 2026-27 grid is not public; local reporting says a successor was negotiated in 2025.
- Soft spot: The posted PDF (filename LOEA_Contract_2023-25_6-6-23_FINAL.pdf, dated 6-13-23) carries a cover page reading 'Proposed Changes to Master Agreement'; it is the document the district publishes as its current LOEA agreement on the MCL 388.1618 transparency page, but it contains no executed signature page.
