Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $58,434 a year, $4,869.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A of the 2023-2026 Peekskill Faculty Association agreement, which prints a full grid for 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26. This is the 2025-26 grid, the last year the agreement covers.
The column order is the district's own: BA+60 is printed between MA+15 and MA+30.
BA+15, BA+60 and MA+40 are closed columns: the agreement states there is no movement into them for unit members hired on or after 2/1/2001.
Steps 14 and 15 have no BA or BA+15 rate; those cells are printed as a dash and are left empty here.
- Soft spot: The agreement expired 6/30/2026 and the district has not posted a 2026-27 schedule, so this is the newest grid it publishes.
