Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2027), page 44 of the PDF.
Appendix 1 of the agreement, the 2024-25 salary schedule. The district prints years of experience alongside the step number; the steps run from 2 to 50.
The agreement also prints a 2025-26 sheet, but that page of the scan is too degraded to read digit by digit, so the 2024-25 sheet is published instead.
- 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.
- Soft spot: Two cells in column A (steps 24 and 33) could not be read cleanly and are left blank.
