Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1.0 = $50,818 a year, $4,234.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Salary Schedule A-IIb, 2026-2027, of the 2024-2028 master agreement between the Reeths-Puffer Education Association and the district. Schedule A-IIb applies to all employees hired after September 8, 1998.
The contract also prints Schedule A-IIa for employees hired before September 8, 1998, with columns BA, BA+20, MA, MA+15, MA+30; its step 1 through 13 figures match A-IIb's BA/BA+18/BA+30/MA+15/MA+30 columns but it has no blank cells.
Steps 14.0 through 30.0 are the contract's longevity block, indexed off the step 13 salary; the district's own row labels are kept.
An INDEX column (1.000 to 1.600, then 1.020 to 1.110 for longevity) is printed beside the steps and is not a pay lane.
The contract prints 2024-25, 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28 schedules; 2027-2028 is a full wage reopener with no figures.
The BA lane stops after step 6.0 and BA+18 after step 9.0; MA+15 and MA+30 start at step 5.0. Those cells are blank in the document.
- Soft spot: The 2026-27 schedule is stated to be a 3% increase over 2025-2026 but the parties may reopen the wage scale if UAAL or OPEB credit is not extended to that school year.
- Soft spot: The contract states no teacher work-day count.
