Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, step 0 = $48,050 a year, $4,004.17 a month spread over 12 months, $264.01 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 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 FY27 Pay Table - Teachers, Bachelors / Masters / Doctorate. The agreement is signed by the presidents of the board and of the association.
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.
Every FY27 base salary cell is $2,000 above the matching FY26 cell.
The agreement states that a teacher's contractual year is 182 days and 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 FY27 coordinator and instructional coach tables appear in the same appendix and are not recorded here.
- Soft spot: The PDF's embedded title metadata still reads "25-26 PCACT Negotiated Agreement (remediated 3/9/26)", but the file is named PCACT-PDF-26-27 and its pay tables, extra-duty schedule and FBA figures are all labeled FY27 / School Year 2026-2027, so the contents are the 2026-27 agreement.
