Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $63,714 a year, $5,309.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule C (2026-2027) of the district-teachers agreement for July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, page 31 of the PDF on file with the Empire Center.
The agreement prints Schedule A (2024-25), Schedule B (2025-26) and Schedule C (2026-27); this record reproduces Schedule C, the year in force.
Several steps repeat the same figure (13-14, 15-17, 18-20, 21-22, 23-24, 25-27); that is how the district prints the grid.
- Soft spot: The PDF is an image-only scan with no text layer; the grid was OCRed with tesseract in two page-segmentation modes (psm 4 and psm 6), which agreed on all 112 cells.
- Soft spot: Every one of the 112 cells is exactly 2.00% above the same cell on the separately printed Schedule B (2025-26, page 30), rounded to the dollar, which independently confirms the reading.
