Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, class & step A = $62,704 a year, $5,225.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A1 of the district's 2024-2028 teacher agreement, which prints a full schedule for 2024-25, 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28. This is the 2026-27 sheet.
The district numbers its columns I through IX; the names here are the ones printed under those numerals.
Column VII, B + 75 Including Masters, is marked with an asterisk: it is not part of the salary schedule for teachers employed after July 1, 1982.
Steps A, 4a and 6a are the district's own half steps, and 15L, 20L, 25L and 30L are longevity steps at 15, 20, 25 and 30 years.
Steps 12 through 15 have no Bachelors or B+15 rate; those cells are printed as a dash and are left empty here, as is column VII at step A.
- Soft spot: The top longevity cells run to $168,855, above the $160,000 ceiling this project uses as a generic sanity check. They are printed that way and are normal for a Westchester district at 30 years with a doctorate.
