Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $65,835 a year, $5,486.25 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Article XXIII of the 2024-2028 Clifton Education Association successor agreement, which prints a guide for each of its four years (2024-25 through 2027-28); this is the 2026-27 guide.
The agreement also carries a step movement chart showing how a teacher's 2023-24 step maps forward through the contract, and states that step movement is frozen at the end of the contract.
Paraprofessional, extra-curricular and coaching guides in the same agreement are excluded.
Verified by a constant lane differential the parse did not assume: all fourteen rows run BA +5,000 to MA, +5,900 to MA+30 and +4,000 to PHD, and the 2027-28 guide printed beside it keeps the same differentials.
- Soft spot: Taken from the Word original of the ratified agreement posted by the union local; the district's own website does not publish the teachers' agreement.
