Appendix A, Base Salary Schedule, of the agreement between Southgate Community Schools and the United Teachers of Southgate, February 1 2023 - January 31 2026.
Southgate bargains on a February-to-January contract year, so Appendix A prints three blocks: Feb 1 2023 - Jan 31 2024, Feb 1 2024 - Jan 31 2025 and Feb 1 2025 - Jan 31 2026. The newest block, Feb 1 2025 - Jan 31 2026, is reproduced here.
The document labels the rows BA-00 to BA-12 and MA-00 to MA-13; the step labels here are the numeric part. The BA lane ends at step 12, so BA is null at step 13.
Longevity is paid on top of the grid ($1,000 after 20 years in the district, $1,500 after 25) and a $1,500 pool is split among Highly Effective members; both are excluded.
Appendix B extra-activities pay is excluded.
- Soft spot: The agreement is a signed scan with no text layer; this block was transcribed from the page rendered at 200 dpi (PDF page 54, document page 53).
- Soft spot: The agreement expired January 31 2026 and the district's transparency listing still shows it as the current teacher contract, so no rate is published for the rest of 2025-26 or for 2026-27.
- Soft spot: The document does not state a teacher contract-day count, so work_days is null.
