The agreement labels this guide 2026-27. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
Schedule A prints one block per contract year, each with its own step ladder. Published here is the Year 4 block, 2026-2027, with the step labels printed beside it.
Step labels are the guide's own, including the frozen pairs 2-3, 4-5 and 6-7 and the half steps 7A and 8A. The Year 4 block repeats step 15 on its last four rows; step 15 is listed once here.
The guide covers teachers and educational support professionals. Athletic trainers hired before July 1, 2023 are on a separate one-column schedule, and custodians, secretaries and paraprofessionals are on Schedule B.
