Worked example as rendered: BA (BS), step 1 = $52,900 a year, $4,408.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2024 to 6/30/2027), page 37 of the PDF.

Appendix A(3) of the agreement, the 2026-2027 salary schedule. Each column carries two headings, BS/BA, BS+30/MA and BS+60/MA+36.

Soft spot: Verified by the schedule's own construction: at every step the MA column is exactly $1,200 above BA and the MA+36 column exactly $1,200 above MA.
Soft spot: The filed agreement is a scan with no text layer, so this grid was read from the page image by OCR (tesseract at 300 dpi or more, rotated where the page is printed sideways) rather than from machine-readable text.
