Appendix A - Schedule A of the amended Crestwood teacher contract effective August 27, 2024 through August 26, 2027, posted on the district's transparency page as the current teacher collective bargaining agreement.
Steps start at 0.
The page prints three side-by-side BA/MA blocks.
- Soft spot: The contract PDF has no text layer; the grid was read from the page image at 150 and 400 dpi.
- Soft spot: The three blocks on the page are headed 2024-2025, 2025-2026 and 2025-2026. The second and third carry the same year heading but different (rising) figures; the third block is very likely the 2026-2027 year of this three-year contract but is not labelled as such, so the second block is published here as 2025-26.
- Soft spot: The contract states no teacher work-day count.
