Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, step 1 = $65,807 a year, $5,483.92 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" of the Arlington Teachers Association agreement, July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, posted on the district's contracts page. It prints a Bachelors Degree Schedule and a Masters Degree Schedule with a 2025-2026 and a 2026-2027 column; this record is the 2026-2027 column of both.
Steps are numbered 1 to 22 in this agreement (the prior agreement's 19a/19b/20 rows are now 20/21/22).
Longevity pay at years 23, 26 and 29 is paid on top of the grid and is not included.
- Soft spot: The posted agreement is a scan with no text layer; values were read by tesseract OCR at 300 dpi and the Bachelors page (steps 1-19) was checked against the rendered image.
- Soft spot: Every 2026-27 cell equals the printed 2025-26 cell x 1.02 except Bachelors steps 15 and 20, where the document's own 2025-26 cells ($96,952 and $109,925) look like typos (the 2026-27 values $98,585 and $111,206 match a 2% raise on $96,652 and $109,025). The 2026-27 values are recorded as printed.
- Soft spot: The Masters page was verified by the 2% identity against its 2025-26 column (all 22 cells matched), not by a visual read.
