Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $64,000 a year, $5,333.33 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 2024 to 30 June 2027 agreement between the Tenafly Board of Education and the Tenafly Education Association on behalf of teaching staff; the contract prints a guide for each of 2024-2025, 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 and this is the last of the three.
The agreement states that the BA+8, BA+24, MA+8, MA+24 and MA+40 columns were eliminated effective 1 July 2018 and MA+48 effective 1 July 2021, with teachers already on them grandfathered until retirement or separation, so several columns are closed to new movement even though the guide still prints them.
The posted contract is a scan with an OCR text layer. Every cell here was read off the rendered page image and then checked against that text layer, which agrees cell for cell; the BA columns also step up by a flat 300 per lane on every row.
- Soft spot: Two printed cells break the guide's own arithmetic and are recorded exactly as printed: step 12 BA+8 reads 87,880 where the flat 300 lane step would give 87,580, and step 14 BA+24 reads 95,390 where it would give 95,380.
