Worked example as rendered: C, step A = $59,039 a year, $4,919.92 a month spread over 12 months, $314.04 per work day on a 188-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A of the KPEA agreement, headed "2026-27 ($3,000 increase)". Steps are lettered (A) through (T) in the source, not numbered.
Beyond step (T) the schedule prints a single longevity figure of $106,957 for employees who have exhausted step and column movement, plus a further 2%; that figure is not part of the grid.
Article 105 states that if the state raises the Base Student Allocation by $500 per student or more for FY2028, an additional 1% is added to the schedule.
- Soft spot: The document is the final tentative agreement dated 2026-08-12 posted on the district's KPEA bargaining page; the last fully executed CBA the district posts is FY22-24, so this grid is taken from the tentative agreement.
- Soft spot: Contract length of 188 teacher days comes from Article 101, not from the schedule page itself, and the article notes it can be 189 days depending on calendar configuration.
