Worked example as rendered: BA, level 1 = $70,493 a year, $5,874.42 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, Salary Guide Teachers 2026-2027, from the agreement effective July 1 2025 to June 30 2029. The association posts the contract; the district's own site does not.
The guide calls its rows levels rather than steps.
A doctoral degree adds a stipend of $2,273 on top of the guide. Employees hired after July 1 2025 are not eligible for it, and those hired before then have until September 1 2030 to earn the degree.
Longevity is paid outside the guide and only to employees hired before July 1 2014: $1,000 after 15 years of West Deptford service, $1,500 more after 20 and $2,000 more after 25.
The agreement is a scan. The figures were read off the rendered page image and checked against the guide's own arithmetic: in every level the gap from BA to BA+30, from BA+30 to MA and from MA to MA+30 is the same number. An independent OCR pass agreed on 63 of the 64 cells, misreading 76,043 as 16,043, and also misread the level 1 row label as 4.
