Worked example as rendered: BA, salary guide step 1 = $60,675 a year, $5,056.25 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A-3 of the 2022-2025 agreement between the Board and the Fort Lee Education Association, headed 'Fort Lee Teachers Salary Guide, Year 3: 2024-2025'. It is the last year printed in the posted contract.
Steps 4-5 and 6-7 are the district's own frozen-pair labels and 16a is a printed step between 16 and 17.
Checked against the Year 2 (2023-2024) guide printed on the facing appendix page A-2: steps 7 through 15 carry identical dollars in both years, which confirms the reading of both tables.
Separate guides for school psychologists, guidance counselors, paraprofessionals and summer school appear elsewhere in the appendix and are not included here.
- Soft spot: The contract term ends 30 June 2025, so a newer Fort Lee Education Association agreement may exist that the district has not posted.
