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 39 of the PDF.
The WVTA 2025-2026 salary schedule, the last year the agreement prints (a 2.20% increase). Steps marked with a letter (2A, 3A, 6A ...) are the district's own intermediate steps.
- Soft spot: Checked cell by cell against the 2024-2025 sheet in the same appendix: every one of the 162 figures is that sheet uplifted by exactly 2.20%.
- 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.
