Worked example as rendered: Class 1, step 1 = $63,175 a year, $5,264.58 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A, Schedule A of the contract between the Passaic Valley Education Association and the Passaic Valley Regional High School District Board of Education covering 2024-2025 through 2026-2027; this is Year 3, 2026-2027. The district's own site publishes no agreement, so this comes from the association. The contract's cover names Passaic Valley Regional High School, 100 East Main Street, Little Falls.
The district labels its columns Class 1 to Class 5, defined in the appendix as a bachelor's degree, 30 graduate credits beyond the bachelor's, 60 credits plus an earned master's, 90 credits plus an earned master's, and an earned doctorate from an accredited American university.
Steps 4-5, 6-7 and 9-10 are the district's own frozen-pair labels.
Longevity is paid outside the guide: 1,884 starting in year 16, 2,696 in year 21, 3,508 in year 26 and 4,318 in year 31.
Checked against the 2025-2026 guide printed on the previous page: within each step row all five classes rise by the same year-over-year factor to five decimal places (1.02391 at step 1 falling smoothly to 1.00785 at step 23), which no OCR-style digit error would reproduce.
The three cells that break that pattern were re-read off the rendered page image and are printed as recorded: Class 2 at steps 20 and 21, and Class 4 at step 23.
- Soft spot: Class 2 at steps 20 and 21 and Class 4 at step 23 do not follow the year-over-year factor the rest of the guide obeys; they were confirmed visually against the printed page and are published exactly as issued.
