Worked example as rendered: Bach., step 1 = $51,409 a year, $4,284.08 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix B ('Year 2', Salary Schedule 2026/27) of the collective bargaining agreement between the Gateway School District and the Gateway Education Association.
The appendix header prints the year's increase as 1.85%. The agreement also carries Appendix A (2025/26), Appendix C (2027/28) and Appendix D (2028/29).
Steps 17 and 18 are blacked out in the Bach., B 12 and B 24 columns on the printed schedule and are recorded here as null: those columns end at step 16.
- Soft spot: The PDF is a landscape scan with no text layer. Values were transcribed from a 250 dpi render rotated 90 degrees and confirmed by a tesseract --psm 4 pass on the same rotated image, which agreed cell for cell.
- Soft spot: PSEA's Starting Salaries survey lists $51,409 for Gateway in spring 2027, matching step 1 Bach. exactly, and its Steps to the Top of 17 matches these 18 step rows.
- Soft spot: The grid is built diagonally (each column repeats the previous column shifted one step), but three cells break that pattern as printed: M 60 step 5 reads $77,118 while M 40 step 6 reads $77,115, and the Doc column jumps to $102,188 / $103,274 / $104,360 at steps 13-15 instead of continuing the $1,543 offset. These were re-checked on a 250 dpi crop of the M 60 and Doc columns and are printed that way in the document.
