Teacher Salary Guide 2025-2026, the last of four year guides the Upper Township Education Association posts on its salary guides page. The district's own site publishes no teachers' agreement.
The association posts each year's guide as a screenshot image rather than a document; this is the 2025-2026 image.
Step 2-4 is the association's own frozen-step label and is printed that way on the guide.
The image is small and its digits are soft. The figures were read off it enlarged and then settled against the guide's own arithmetic: BA15 sits exactly $1,147 above BA, BA30, MA and MA15 each exactly $1,162 above the lane to their left, and MA30 exactly $1,163 above MA15. All five identities hold in every one of the twenty rows as transcribed.
- Soft spot: The guide is published only as a low-resolution screenshot, so individual digits were confirmed by the guide's constant lane differentials rather than read cleanly.
