The master column is the BA+60/MA lane; the top MA+45 lane reaches $111,314. A doctorate earns a $2,000 stipend rather than a separate lane, and National Board certification adds $1,500. A one-year agreement approved May 26, 2026 adds 2% effective January 1, 2027, but no 2026-27 schedule is posted. Figures were read from an image-only PDF.
