Worked example as rendered: Salary schedule, step 1 = $48,971 a year, $4,080.92 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2022 to 6/30/2026), page 29 of the PDF.
Section 2 of the agreement prints one column per school year (2022-23 to 2025-26); this record reproduces the 2025-26 column, the last year of the contract.
Masters pay and credit-hour additions are paid on top of the base step, so the grid is the base schedule only.
- Soft spot: The filed agreement is a scan with no text layer, so this grid was read from the page image by OCR (tesseract at 300 dpi or more, rotated where the page is printed sideways) rather than from machine-readable text.
- Soft spot: Every figure was checked against the 2024-25 column printed beside it: the schedule is that column uplifted by 4%.
