Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $65,190 a year, $5,432.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Exhibit A-3 of the 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 agreement between the Township of Ocean Board of Education and the Township of Ocean Education Association. Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3 carry 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27 and this is A-3.
The guide also prints a Years of Service as of 30 June 2026 column, which the contract says is used only to set maximum salary placement for new staff; steps 14-15 and 16-17 are the district's own frozen-pair step labels.
Checked arithmetically: on all seventeen rows BA+30 is exactly 2,000 above BA, MA is 1,900 above BA+30, MA+30 is 2,000 above MA and Ed.D is 1,900 above MA+30.
The only TOEA sidebar agreements the district posts (April 2025 and August 2026) deal with a confidential secretarial title and do not change this guide.
