Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1.00 = $43,311 a year, $3,609.25 a month spread over 12 months, $231.61 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A - 2026-2027 in the agreement between Portage Public Schools and the Portage Education Association, in effect until June 30, 2027. The contract also prints 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 grids.
The grid is headed 'No Teacher starts below Step 3'.
Article 25: 'The calendar will have 180 student days and 187 Teacher work days.'
Every 2026-2027 cell equals the printed 2025-2026 cell times 1.04, which was used to check the parse.
- Soft spot: The PDF's text layer is OCR output and contains stray punctuation (for example step 24 prints as '24,00' and some values carry a trailing period). Digits and thousands separators were checked cell by cell against the 1.04 year-over-year ratio.
- Soft spot: The 2026-2027 instructional calendar printed in the same document states 178 student days and 186 staff days, which does not match the 180/187 in Article 25.
