Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2021 to 6/30/2025), page 71 of the PDF.
The agreement prints two grids for the year: a BA schedule and an MA schedule. This record reproduces the one named in its title; the other is published as a separate schedule for the same district.
Steps carry the district’s own letter codes; the shaded longevity bands (completed 20, 25 and 30 years) repeat the same figure across several step rows exactly as printed.
- 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.
- Soft spot: The step-27 figure in the "18" column ($84,614) is $1 below the step-26 figure; that is what the schedule prints.
