Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, step 0 = $46,050 a year, $3,837.50 a month spread over 12 months, $253.02 per work day on a 182-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section 4 of the 2025-2026 negotiated agreement between the Putnam City Schools board of education (Independent School District Number One, Oklahoma County) and the Putnam City Association of Classroom Teachers, printed as FY26 Pay Table - Teachers, Bachelors / Masters / Doctorate.
The figures above are column B, Base Salary. The same tables print the TRS credit, district-paid life and disability, district-paid retirement and total district compensation, which are excluded here.
The agreement states that per diem is paid on contract days beyond 182 days.
Not included in the grid: 6% of base plus $7,500 for school psychologists, 6% of base for special education teachers, 6% of base plus $5,000 for speech language pathologists, 5% of base for alternative education teachers, $3,300 for full-time program coordinators and curriculum specialists, $2,200 for career technology teachers identified by the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education, and $620 for counselors.
Separate FY26 coordinator and instructional coach tables appear in the same appendix and are not recorded here.
- Soft spot: As of September 2026 the district's negotiated agreements page still posts only the 2025-2026 certified (PCACT) agreement, so this grid is the prior school year.
- Soft spot: The 182-day figure comes from the agreement's per-diem clause rather than from a stated contract-length line on the pay table itself.
