Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $60,245 a year, $5,020.42 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
YEAR 3, 2023-24 Salary Guide, the final year of the agreement between the Wanaque Borough Board of Education and the Wanaque Borough Education Association for 2021-2024. No successor agreement is published anywhere; the district's own site publishes no teachers' agreement.
Step 0 is printed as a row of dashes with no salary in any lane and is omitted.
The agreement is a scan. The figures were read off the rendered page image, checked cell by cell against an independent OCR pass, and checked against the guide's own arithmetic: MA sits exactly $6,500 above BA, MA+30 exactly $6,000 above MA and MA+45 exactly $3,000 above MA+30, at every one of the fourteen steps.
- Soft spot: This is the newest Wanaque guide published anywhere. Its agreement expired on 30 June 2024 and the successor has not been posted, so the figures are two school years behind.
