Worked example as rendered: BACHELORS, step 1 = $46,041 a year, $3,836.75 a month spread over 12 months, $250.22 per work day on a 184-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
STEA Contract 24-27 (Saginaw Township Education Association). The newest schedule the contract publishes is 2025-2026, a 2.0% increase above the 2024-2025 salary; the contract makes 2026-2027 an economic reopener, so no 2026-27 grid exists and none is extrapolated.
Steps 1-13 come from Appendix D, '2025-2026 TEACHER SALARY SCHEDULE, Hired After February 13, 2018 or Chosen by Employee'. Steps 14 through 34+ come from Appendix E, '2025-2026 TEACHER SALARY SCHEDULE, Steps 14-34 All Employees'. Step 14 is printed identically in both appendices.
The district also publishes a separate legacy 2025-2026 grid (Appendix C) for employees hired prior to February 13, 2018, and Appendix E carries an extra BACHELORS + 18 lane available only to those hired before January 1, 2012. Neither is reproduced here.
Each lane is printed with an index column; the index columns are omitted.
Coaching salary schedules are excluded.
work_days: the contract states the employee work year is 180 student days plus 4 teacher days (2 before school starts and 2 record days), i.e. 184; a separate 183-day work year applies at Mackinaw High School.
- Soft spot: Steps 14 through 34+ were transcribed from the Appendix E page image (that appendix has no text layer); steps 1-13 were read from the machine-readable Appendix D text.
- Soft spot: The 2026-27 school year is an economic reopener, so this grid is one year old.
