Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $63,710 a year, $5,309.17 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A of the 2022-2026 agreement between the Madison Board of Education and the Madison Education Association; the schedule prints all four contract years side by side and 2025-26 is the last of them.
Longevity is paid outside the guide ($1,100 at 15-19 years, $1,425 at 20-24, $1,780 at 25 or more) and does not apply to employees hired as of July 1 1998.
- Soft spot: The 2022-2026 agreement ran through June 30 2026 and the district has not posted a successor, so 2025-26 is the newest guide it publishes.
