Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $62,150 a year, $5,179.17 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, Year 1 (2026-2027) of the agreement between the Waldwick Board of Education and the Waldwick Education Association covering 2026-2028. The district's own site publishes no agreement, so this comes from the association.
The guide carries a footnote that teachers already on the BA+30 column are grandfathered and that there has been no movement onto BA+30 since 1 July 2017.
Checked arithmetically: every row sits at fixed offsets from its BA cell, 3,000 to BA+15, 6,000 to BA+30, 8,500 to MA, 11,000 to MA+15, 14,500 to MA+30 and 17,000 to MA+45, on all sixteen rows, and the same offsets hold on the Year 2 2027-2028 guide printed on the next page.
