Schedule A, 2026-2027 Teachers' Salary Guide, the final year of the Cedar Grove Education Association certificated agreement for 2023-2027. The association posts the contract; the district's own site does not.
Steps 2-3 and 4-5 are the district's own frozen-pair step labels and are printed that way on the guide.
Merit levels are paid on top of the guide: $1,000 of additional base salary for each merit level, awarded for college and district professional development credits beyond BA+30 or MA+30, divided by 15.
Read from the agreement's text layer and checked against the guide's own arithmetic: BA+15, BA+30 and BA+45 each sit exactly $1,000 above the lane to their left at every one of the 15 steps.
