Worked example as rendered: BA, level Level 3 = $50,285 a year, $4,190.42 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
'2026/2027 LSEA Salary Structure', Appendix A-1 of the Lansing School District / Lansing Schools Education Association contract 2023-2027.
Levels 1 and 2 print 'STEP 3' rather than a dollar figure: those two levels were removed from the schedule and anyone on them was advanced to Level 3, so they are recorded as blank.
A $95,000 cap applies to the schedule for the duration of the agreement; the capped cells are printed as 95,000 and anyone whose structural salary exceeds it is made whole by a June stipend.
All salary levels rise 3.5% per year through the 2023-2027 agreement.
Excluded: the separate LSEA hourly salary schedule (Appendix A-2).
- Soft spot: The district also posts a scanned salary-schedule attachment to the August 2023 tentative agreement; the figures here come from the typeset contract, which is legible and matches it.
