Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $67,226 a year, $5,602.17 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, Year 4 (2025-26), of the 2022-2026 NHEA and NHRHS combined agreement. The agreement ran out on 30 June 2026 and no 2026-27 guide is published, so this is the newest guide the district has.
The BA column stops at step 16; steps 17, 18 and 19 are blank in BA on the guide and are left blank here.
Steps 10-11, 12-13 and 14-15 are the district's own combined step labels.
Verified by a constant lane differential that the extraction did not assume: every row runs BA +8,400 to MA, +5,600 to MA+30 and +6,000 to MA+60, including the three rows where BA is blank.
Cocurricular, coaching and administrative stipend schedules in the same document are excluded.
