Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $57,559 a year, $4,796.58 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix II of the district's agreement with the Mount Vernon Federation of Teachers, which prints a grid for 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22. This is the 2021-22 grid.
It is published here as the 2024-25 schedule because the successor memorandum of agreement the district posts on the same page sets the wage increase at 0.00% for 2022/23, 0.00% for 2023/24 and 0.00% for 2024/25, applied to these same Appendix II schedules, so the grid was unchanged for those three years.
Each column tops out at a different step: BA, BA+6 and BA+15 end at step 12, BA+30 and MA at step 15, MA+15 at 16, MA+30 at 17, MA+45 at 18, MA+60 at 19 and PhD at 20. The contract prints those empty cells as 0; they are left empty here.
Steps 1A and 2A are the district's own half steps.
The contract is a scan with no text layer, so the figures were read from the page image.
- Soft spot: The memorandum of agreement adds 1.50% for 2025/26 and 1.75% for 2026/27 but does not reprint the grid, so the current-year figures are not published anywhere and are not derived here.
