Worked example as rendered: BA, new step 1 = $55,825 a year, $4,652.08 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, the third year of the 2021-2024 agreement between the Rockaway Borough Board of Education and the Rockaway Borough Education Association.
The guide prints an old step column beside the New Step number used here; the old column runs 1 to 23 with a 22A, and covers several steps per row.
- Soft spot: The posted contract is a scan with no text layer; the grid was read by OCR and checked against the rendered page. Every row carries the same three lane offsets of $2,400, which the transcription satisfies.
- Soft spot: This is a 2023-24 guide. The district's document page holds only the 2018-2021 and 2021-2024 agreements, so no newer Rockaway Borough guide is published.
