Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $52,534 a year, $4,377.83 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 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2027), page 9 of the PDF.
Exhibit A of the agreement, the 2026/27 teachers' schedule (a 1.50% increase).
- Soft spot: Checked cell by cell against the 2025/26 sheet in the same exhibit: every one of the 240 figures is that sheet uplifted by exactly 1.50%.
- 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.
