The guide prints two step columns, a new label and an old label; the step numbers here are the new labels.
Longevity is paid outside the guide: $300 after 20 completed school years, $1,200 after 24 and $3,000 after 29.
- Soft spot: This is a 2023-24 guide. The district posts the contract under the title 'VEA Contract 2021-2024 (New CBA in Development - Coming Soon)', so no newer Verona guide is published.
