Worked example as rendered: DIVISION I (BA), step 1 = $47,542 a year, $3,961.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
'TEACHER SALARY SCHEDULE 2026-2027' from the Master Agreement between the Okemos Board of Education and the Ingham Clinton Education Association MEA/NEA, 2025-2028 (the contract settled in July 2026 after the 2024-25 agreement expired).
The agreement states the 2026-2027 schedule includes step advancement, a 1.5% on-schedule wage increase and a 0.50% off-schedule wage increase.
Each cell is printed as a base figure plus a parenthesised figure (for example '47,542 + (234)*'). Only the base salary is recorded; the parenthesised amount is the one-time, off-schedule payment, which the contract says is not included in the ongoing base salary.
Schedule B stipend schedule (extra duty pay) is excluded.
- Soft spot: The agreement is a scan with no text layer; the grid was transcribed from the page image at 300 dpi. The transcription checks out against the schedule's own internal ladder (Division II step 1 equals Division I step 3, Division III step 1 equals Division I step 5) and against the stated 0.50% off-schedule rate.
- Soft spot: The agreement's calendar appendix was not parsed, so work_days is null.
