Worked example as rendered: BACH, step 20 = $54,043 a year, $4,503.58 a month spread over 12 months, $280.02 per work day on a 193-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Collective bargaining agreement between the Altoona Area School District and the Altoona Area Education Association, August 16, 2025 through August 15, 2029; the agreement prints four annual grids and this is the one headed “2026-2027 SALARY SCHEDULE”.
Altoona's steps run DOWN the page: the highest-numbered step is the entry step and the schedule ends at TOP. Step numbers therefore shrink by one each contract year, and the agreement includes a step-conversion table.
The grid also prints a “Skyward step conversion” column (1..21) for reference only; the district's own step is the one recorded here.
The school year is 193 days for bargaining unit employees beginning their first full year (180 student days, 9.5 in-service, 3.5 extra induction days).
