Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $58,885 a year, $4,907.08 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Article XXV, Teacher Salary Guides, Year 3: 2025-2026, the final year of the Cresskill Board of Education and Cresskill Education Association agreement for teachers running July 1 2023 through June 30 2026. No successor agreement is posted. The association posts the contract; the district's own site does not.
Steps 2-3, 4-5 and 16-18 are the district's own frozen-pair step labels and are printed that way on the guide.
Read from the agreement's text layer and checked against the guide's own arithmetic: BA+30 sits exactly $1,000 above BA at every one of the 15 steps.
