Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $47,502 a year, $3,958.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A of the Saline Education Association contract, August 19, 2025 - December 31, 2027.
Schedule A prints a 2025/26 and a 2026/27 grid side by side; the 2026/27 grid is reproduced here.
Steps 1-15 are annual steps; the contract states step 20 is awarded after nineteen years of service in Saline (a $1,000 increase from step 15) and step 25 after twenty-four years (a further $500), which matches the printed values.
The $1,200 offline payment described for 2025/26 and the Schedule B coaching/club stipends are excluded.
The contract also provides a wage reopener for the 2027/28 schedule.
- Soft spot: Schedule A is an embedded image with no text layer, so the values were transcribed from the page image. They were checked two ways: each 2026/27 step equals the next step of the printed 2025/26 grid, and the step 20 / step 25 increments match the +$1,000 / +$500 rules stated in the contract text.
- Soft spot: The contract does not state a teacher work-day count, so work_days is null.
