Appendix A (Teacher Salary, 2024-2027) of the Elmira Teachers Association agreement, July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, as posted by the district. The contract prints ONE teacher grid headed 2024-2027 that applies in each year of the term, including 2026-27.
All teachers on Steps 1-15 advance one step each July 1. Steps 16-30 no longer exist on the grid: from 2024-25 they are off-step, and off-step teachers receive a 3.75% salary increase in each of 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27.
The previous contract's grid ran to Step 30; this one prints only Steps 1-15.
- Soft spot: The posted PDF is a scan with an OCR text layer; every one of the 105 cells was read off the rendered page image (PDF page 88) and matches the OCR where the OCR is legible.
- Soft spot: Steps 1-13 follow the printed pattern exactly (+$750 a step through Step 10, +$1,000 after, fixed lane offsets); Steps 14-15 break that pattern in the document itself and are recorded as printed.
- Soft spot: Treated as the 2026-27 grid because the contract prints a single 2024-2027 schedule; no separate 2026-27 table exists.
