Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $40,000 a year, $3,333.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Article 20 of the 2025-2027 Lapeer Education Association master agreement.
The contract states that the 2026-2027 wage schedule will be negotiated and finalized no later than June 1, 2026, and prints no 2026-27 grid, so the newest published year is 2025-2026.
Steps labelled with an 'a' suffix (1a, 2a, ...) are the district's own half-step labels and are kept verbatim.
- Soft spot: Step 10a in the MA +30 lane prints $94,000, well above the $83,261 at step 10 and out of line with the rest of the column; the value is transcribed as printed.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state a current teacher work-day count (it only refers to a possible return to a 188-day work year), so work_days is null.
