Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2026), page 23 of the PDF.
Appendix A of the agreement prints the Masters, Masters +30 and Masters +60 schedules with one column per school year (23-24, 24-25, 25-26); this record reproduces the 25-26 column of each, the last year of the contract.
- 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.
