Schedule notes
From Appendix A (contract PDF page 59) of the 2024-2027 Arlington School Committee-Arlington Education Association Unit A agreement; the 2026-27 table is labeled 2.75% COLA. Steps 1-12. Master is the plain MA lane. The top lane is labeled MA+60 / DOC (a shared MA+60 or doctorate lane), so it is not treated as a doctorate lane and doctorate is null. Longevity stipends (12+ years, $2,648 to $3,367) are separate and not in the maximums. Other lanes (BA+15, MA+15, MA+30/CAGS) not captured here. Text-extracted PDF.
