Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $49,280 a year, $4,106.67 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From Appendix A of the 2024-2026 PCEA agreement; the district posts its bargaining agreements through the Michigan budget and salary transparency reporting portal linked from the Finance and Operations page.
The scale is printed as one 2024-2026 table: BA steps 10.5 and 11 and MA and MA+30 steps 12.5 and 13 were added for the 2025-26 school year.
The BA lane ends at Step 11; the source blacks out BA at steps 11.5 through 13.
Two steps above the current Step 1 (BA $46,848 / MA $49,059 / MA+30 $50,271 and BA $48,064 / MA $50,494 / MA+30 $51,707) are struck through in the source as dropped and are excluded.
Step 10 in the BA lane ($80,285) sits above the MA lane at the same step because the agreement gave the BA top step a 5% on-schedule increase.
- Soft spot: The published agreement runs through 2025-26; no successor PCEA agreement or 2026-27 wage scale was posted as of September 2026, so this record is one school year behind.
- Soft spot: Appendix A is a scanned image page inside the PDF, so the grid was read off the page image.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state contract days on the wage scale.
