Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1-2 = $63,669 a year, $5,305.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Exhibit C, Salary Locator for Certified Staff, July 1 2026 to June 30 2027, the third year of the 2024-2027 agreement between the Lopatcong Township Board of Education and the Lopatcong Education Association.
The agreement raises the certified base 3.5% in 2024-25, 3.5% in 2025-26 and 3.4% in 2026-27.
The guide also prints a Locator column of letter codes (ST, UV, WX and so on) beside the step; those are the district's guide-placement letters, not lanes.
Steps 1-2 and 3-4 are combined rows on the district's own guide.
- Soft spot: The document is a scan with no text layer; the grid was read by OCR and checked against the rendered page. Every row on this guide carries a constant $2,261 lane differential and step 1-2 equals the 2025-26 step-1 salary times the contract's 3.4% raise, both of which the transcription satisfies.
