Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $45,000 a year, $3,750.00 a month spread over 12 months, $245.90 per work day on a 183-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A - Wages in the 2022-2026 master contract between the Swartz Creek Education Association and the Board of Education.
The document prints ONE grid headed 'Pay Scale 2022-23 Through 2025-26', so the same dollar figures apply to all four contract years; 2025-26 is the latest year it covers.
Steps 11 and 12 are blank in the BA lane in the document.
The calendar article states a minimum of 180 instructional days and 183 teacher days.
- Soft spot: The contract runs through 2026 and the district's 'current bargaining agreements' page still lists this as the current teacher agreement, so no 2026-27 grid is published yet.
- Soft spot: Off-schedule one-time payments of $3,000 (Sept 2022 and Sept 2023) and a 2024-25 per-pupil funding trigger are described in the contract but are not part of the grid.
