Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $68,328 a year, $5,694.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Exhibit A2 of the July 2024 to June 2028 agreement with the Scarsdale Teachers Association, headed '2025-26 (1.75% increase)'.
Steps 17, 18 and 19 have no BA rate; those cells are blank on the sheet and are left empty here.
The agreement is a scan with no text layer, so the figures were read from the page image.
- Soft spot: The 2026-27 sheet, Exhibit A3, begins on the last page of the district's posted scan and is cut off after step 5, so the current year cannot be published from this document. This 2025-26 exhibit is the newest complete grid in it.
- Soft spot: The top cells run to $168,919, above the $160,000 ceiling this project uses as a generic sanity check. Scarsdale is one of the highest paying districts in the state and the figures are printed as shown.
