Schedule II of the collective bargaining agreement between the Rochester School Board and the Rochester Federation of Teachers for 2025-2028. Schedules I and III cover the other two years of the contract.

Co-curricular and extra-curricular stipends (Schedule 4) are excluded.

- Soft spot: The posted agreement is a scan, so the grid was read off the page image.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days.
