Worked example as rendered: BA, step 3 = $64,435 a year, $5,369.58 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Table IB of the 2024-2027 Bridgeton Board of Education and BEA agreement; Table I is 2024-25 and Table IA is 2025-26.
The guide starts at step 3, which is the district's own numbering; a second column on the guide maps each step to years of hiring experience (step 3 is 1 year, step 11 covers 9, 10 and 11 years, step 17 is 17 or more).
The guide carries a further column, School to Career, which is exactly 1.25 times the BA rate at every step. It is an assignment differential rather than an education lane, so it is not published here as a lane.
The agreement is a scan with a poor text layer. The extracted text gave step 17 BA as 92,350, which broke the guide's own constant lane differential; re-reading the rendered page at 400 dpi gives 92,550, which restores it.
Verified by a constant lane differential the extraction did not assume: every one of the fifteen rows runs BA +700, +800, +900, +1,500, +1,500 across the six columns, and the School to Career column is 1.25 x BA in every row.
Facilitator, ExCEL, secretarial and cafeteria guides in the same agreement are excluded.
- Soft spot: Read from a scanned agreement posted by the union local; the district's own website does not publish the teachers' agreement.
