Worked example as rendered: Category I - B.A. on, step 1 = $48,498 a year, $4,041.50 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, '2026-2027 Salary Schedule', of the agreement between the Board of Education of the Midland Public Schools and the Midland City Education Association, August 12, 2025 through August 15, 2028.
Each category is printed as three columns: an 'on' (on-schedule salary), an 'off' (a 2% off-schedule payment, paid as cash or 403B with the 20th pay) and a 'total'. The lanes here are the on-schedule salary only; the off-schedule amounts run from $951 to $2,058 and are excluded.
Salary provisions for 2026-27: 2% on schedule, 2% off schedule, steps and lanes granted. 2027-28 is a wage opener with a 1% minimum on-schedule.
A separate four-row table covers a held-harmless Category VI (M.A. + 45) for steps 11, 12, 13 and 14+ only; it is not carried in this grid.
Article XXIX: negotiated workdays 'shall not exceed 186 assigned workdays for teachers in the school year'; no fixed count is stated.
- Soft spot: The grid is a page image inside the PDF with no text layer, so the figures were transcribed. Every row was checked against the schedule's own 'total' column (on + off = total, within $1) and against the flat per-step increments of $2,131 (B.A.), $2,411 (M.A.) and $2,620 (M.A.+30).
