Worked example as rendered: BA, step 0 = $50,217 a year, $4,184.75 a month spread over 12 months, $271.44 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix B of the amended negotiated agreement between the Olentangy Teachers Association and the Olentangy Local School District board of education for July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, headed Salary Schedule July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027, Base Salary: $50,217.
The same appendix prints the 2025-26 (base $48,754) and 2027-28 (base $51,724) schedules, and Appendix C prints the shared index table.
Article 34 sets the school year at no more than 185 days, excluding one orientation day for new teachers and including the equivalent of eight workdays without students.
The schedule repeats rates across several steps (21 matches 20, 23 and 24 match 22, 26 through 28 match 25, and 30 matches 29), which is how the document prints it.
Not included in the grid: the supplemental salary schedules in Appendix D, which are indexed to the BA step 0 base.
- Soft spot: The contract phrases the work year as a maximum (shall not exceed 185 days) rather than as a fixed contract-day count.
