Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 9/1/2022 to 8/31/2026), page 13, 14 of the PDF.
Exhibit A of the memorandum of agreement prints one column per school year for each of the two teacher tracks (T1 and T2); this record reproduces the 2025-26 column of both.
Steps 1 through 25 are the T1/T2 salary steps in the 2021-22 column; steps 26 to 29 appear only in the later years as the schedule was extended.
- Soft spot: The filed agreement is a scan with no text layer; this grid was read from the page image by OCR and every cell was checked against the rendered page.
