Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $51,380 a year, $4,281.67 a month spread over 12 months, $273.30 per work day on a 188-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A of the 2026-2027 Master Agreement between Omaha Public Schools (School District No. 0001) and the Omaha Education Association, reached March 23, 2026.
Teaching staff are assigned 188 regular duty days under Article VI of the agreement.
Extra-duty and coaching pay (Appendix B) is excluded.
- Soft spot: The agreement is published only as a scan, so the grid was read off the page image rather than machine-readable text.
- Soft spot: A black scanning artifact covers the BA and BA18 cells for Steps 16 through 20, so those cells are left blank; the schedule shows no figures there.
