Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $63,618 a year, $5,301.50 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-4, Salary Guide 2026-2027, from the agreement between the West Essex Regional School District Board of Education and the West Essex Education Association covering 2023-2024 through 2027-2028.
The guide notes that a teacher's step placement does not equate to years of service. L1 and L2 are the district's own labels for the two top rows.
Longevity is paid outside the guide, and only to staff who began before July 1 2014: $2,750 after 19 years of teaching experience and $5,500 after 24 years in the district.
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: in every row the gap from BA to BA+15 equals the gap from BA+15 to MA, and the three gaps from MA up to MA+60 are equal to each other.
- Soft spot: The agreement sits on the district's legacy file server. No page on the district's current site links it any more, so the landing link is the district home page.
