Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $45,268 a year, $3,772.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A of the Mason Education Association master agreement, August 2024 - August 2027; this is the 2026-2027 grid (the contract also prints 2024-25 and 2025-26).
The third and fourth column headings are stacked in the document: 'MA' over 'BA+36', and 'MA + 10' over 'BA + 52'.
GSRP teacher salaries are limited to the BA lane, steps 1-3.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state a teacher contract-day count, so work_days is null.
