Salary guide attachment to the 2022-2027 Garfield Federation of Teachers agreement, revision ADD#3 dated 6/19/2024; the guide prints all five contract years side by side and this is the 2026-2027 column.
Garfield publishes one sheet per lane (A-1 BA, A-2 MA, A-3 MA+MA) rather than one grid, so the columns here were assembled from those sheets at matching steps.
The BA+30 sheet contains a single rate, step 20, so every other BA+30 cell is blank on the guide and is left blank here.
Paraprofessional (A-6, A-7) and technician (A-5) guides in the same document are excluded.
Verified two ways that do not repeat the reading: a positional column extraction of the page text reproduced the same 2026-27 values, and the five year columns are monotonically non-decreasing at every step.
