Worked example as rendered: BA Only, step Residency 1 = $50,252 a year, $4,187.67 a month spread over 12 months, $264.48 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section 6.2 of the 2026-2027 Negotiated Agreement between the district and the Pocatello Education Association. Rows are grouped into a Residency rung (steps 1-3) and a Professional rung (steps 1-10) of the Idaho career ladder; the step numbering restarts at 1 for the Professional rung.
All eligible certified employees, including staff the State of Idaho counts as Pupil Service Personnel, are placed on this schedule.
Psychologists receive a stipend equal to 5% of their cell placement and speech language pathologists 10%; those stipends are excluded from the grid.
The agreement sets the 2026-2027 school year at 190 work days, which includes five paid holidays, four professional development days and three record days.
- Soft spot: The BA Only column is flat at $64,427 from Professional step 6 through step 10, so pay stops rising with experience in that column.
- Soft spot: Read from the scanned image pages of the negotiated agreement PDF (pages 10 onward carry no embedded text).
