Schedule notes
From the Needham School Committee-Needham Education Association Unit A contract SY25-28 (contract PDF page 59, printed page 56): 'Unit A Faculty Salary Schedule, Effective September, 2026 (With COLA)', 1.5% COLA. The schedule is a scanned image and was read by eye. Steps 1-15 (BA lane stops at step 14 and BA+15 at 14). Lanes: B.A., M.A. (used as master), D (used as doctorate). Longevity, if any, not included. Reviewer: doctorate left null because the top lane is labeled only "D", not explicitly as a doctorate; its top printed value is $136,600.
