Read from the salary appendix of the district-association agreement on file with the Empire Center (contract term 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2028), page 52 of the PDF.
Schedule A-4 of the agreement, the 2026-2027 sheet ("1.10% plus step increase").
- 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: Checked against the 2025-2026 sheet (Schedule A-3) printed on the preceding page: every figure present in both is exactly 1.10% above it.
- Soft spot: The BA and BA+30 columns stop at step 13 in the printed grid; the cells below them are blank in the source.
