Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, district step 0 = $45,550 a year, $3,795.83 a month spread over 12 months, $251.66 per work day on a 181-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Article XV, Section 1 of the 2025-2026 American Federation of Teachers collective bargaining agreement between the Oklahoma City board of education and Oklahoma City AFT Local 2309.
This is Schedule 001, 181 days, which the agreement applies to regular teachers, nurses, instructional coaches, instructional facilitators, homebound teachers and administrative interns. The agreement prints one page per education lane.
The dollar figures above are column B, Negotiated Base Salary. The same tables also print column C additional salary (TRS credit), column D district-paid retirement, column E district-paid life insurance and column F total district compensation, which are excluded here.
Separate 181-day, 196-day and 201-day schedules exist for special education teachers, career tech, speech language pathologists, media specialists and athletic trainers, psychologists, counselors and newcomer graduation coaches; only the regular teacher schedule is recorded.
The agreement notes that the Bachelors +15 and Masters +30 education lanes expired on 12/31/2020 and that employees in those lanes were grandfathered, so their rates are not printed in the document.
The top row is printed as step 35+ rather than a numbered step.
- Soft spot: As of September 2026 the district's collective bargaining agreement page still posts only the FY2026 (2025-2026) AFT agreement, so this is the prior school year.
- Soft spot: The posted PDF is named FinalDRAFTFY2026AFTCBA, and its running header reads 2025-2026 American Federation of Teachers Collective Bargaining Agreement.
