Worked example as rendered: BA, performance increment 1&2 = $53,529 a year, $4,460.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From Appendix A of the working agreement between the Anoka-Hennepin School Board and Anoka-Hennepin Education Minnesota; the same appendix prints the 2025-2026 schedule above it.
The district calls the rows performance increments rather than steps, and several rows cover two increments.
The BA+60 lane is published only at the top increment (22+); the district blanks it at every other row.
Employees who were on Step 23 of the Masters and BA-60 lanes, or Steps 21 and 22 of the other BA lanes, during 2025-2026 receive a one-time $2,500 payment on October 9, 2026.
- Soft spot: The agreement PDF is a scan whose text layer is badly garbled, so the grid was read off the page images at pages 40-41 of the appendix.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state contract days on the salary appendix.
