Worked example as rendered: Group 1 BA, step A = $61,000 a year, $5,083.33 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 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026 agreement between the Metuchen Board of Education and the Metuchen Education Association; the contract prints a guide for each of the three years and this is 2025-2026. The district's own site publishes no agreement, so this comes from the association.
The district labels its steps with letters A through N, not numbers, and that is how they are published here.
This is an index guide and the contract states the index: 2.5 percent above base for a bachelor's plus 30 credits, 5 percent for a master's, 7.5 percent for a master's plus 30 and 10 percent for a doctorate. Every cell in all fourteen rows equals the row's Group 1 figure times that factor rounded to the dollar, which is the check used, and each cell was also read off the rendered page image because the posted contract is a scan.
Longevity is paid above the guide plus degree premium after a year at the top: 2.00 percent at 5 years of district service, 2.50 at 10, 3.00 at 15, 4.50 at 20, 5.00 at 25 and 5.50 at 30.
- Soft spot: The agreement expires 30 June 2026 and no successor is posted, so 2025-26 is the most recent Metuchen guide published.
