Appendix B (Salary Scales) of the Manchester Education Association agreement posted by the district as covering July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027. The same appendix also carries the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 schedules.
CAGS is a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study; DOC is a doctorate.
Stipends for extra positions (Appendix D) and the salary-scale pluses for coordinators and supervisors are excluded.
- Soft spot: The posted file is a scan and its running page header still reads "July 1, 2022-August 31, 2024", although the appendix itself is headed School Year 2026/2027; the grid was read off the page image.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days.
