The agreement prints five annual grids; this is the one headed 'Salary Schedule 2026-2027 Year 3'.
The work year of 187 days is the figure the parties use for per diem calculations (paragraph 5 of the January 23, 2025 memorandum of agreement posted alongside the contract).
The February 2025 memorandum of agreement on the same page deals only with sixth-period assignment pay and does not alter this schedule.
