Schedule notes
WWEA contract 2024-2027, 2026-27 salary scale. Grid starts at step 2 (no step 1); BA lane ends at step 14, MA at step 16. Master lane is MA. Third lane is 'DM Ed Sp' (double master / Ed Specialist), not a PhD lane, so doctorate is null (PhD/EdD holders hired new are placed there plus a $2,000 annual stipend per Article 18.3). Max is top grid step, no longevity. Text-extractable PDF.
