Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $58,471 a year, $4,872.58 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

Appendix A of the agreement between the Burlington Board of School Commissioners and the Burlington Education Association, 2025-2028, dated December 11, 2025. The appendix prints FY26, FY27 and FY28 grids; this is FY27.

Article 18.2 sets total new money at 4.95% for each of the three contract years.

The BA+51 and MA+15 columns pay the same amount at every shared step, as do BA+66 and MA+30; a teacher who holds a master's may not elect to be paid on the credits-only column.

Lanes top out at different steps; blank cells are left blank.

Soft spot: The appendix is a scan whose embedded text layer is corrupt. The grid was read off the page image and then re-derived from each lane's constant step increment; the two agree to the dollar.
