Worked example as rendered: BA, step 3 = $47,449 a year, $3,954.08 a month spread over 12 months, $255.10 per work day on a 186-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A-1 of the agreement between the Southfield Board of Education and the Southfield Education Association, July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2026 (the agreement the district lists as its current teacher CBA).
The grid is titled '2022-2024 Salary Schedule' and the contract states it stays in place for the 2023-2024 school year; that is the newest published grid, so school_year is recorded as 2023-24.
The contract provides financial re-openers for 2024-2025 and for 2025-2026; no re-opened grid is published, and none is extrapolated here.
Appendix A-2 longevity ($1,125 at 15-19 years up to $1,425 at 30+ years) and Appendix B voluntary-assignment stipends are excluded.
work_days is the 186 Teacher Days shown for the 10-month calendar in the agreement.

- Soft spot: This grid is two school years old; the district publishes no newer teacher schedule.
