Worked example as rendered: B, step 1 = $54,160 a year, $4,513.33 a month spread over 12 months, $285.05 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix III (Year 3, 2.25% increase) of the 2024-2028 collective bargaining agreement between the Centennial School District and the Centennial Education Association, PSEA-NEA (board approved June 26, 2024 and August 20, 2024).
The district also numbers the columns as classes: I (emergency certification, no salary column printed), II = B, IIB = B+24, III = M, IIIA = M+9, IIIB = M+18, IIIC = M+27, IV = M+36.
B+24 (class IIB) is marked a grandfathered column.
Half steps (1.5, 2.5, ...) are printed on the grid and are reproduced here as the district prints them.
The bargaining unit member work year is 190 days (Article on Work Year, section K).
Co-curricular and activity stipends in Appendix VI are excluded.
- Soft spot: The class-numeral row (I, II, IIB, III, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, IV) has eight labels for seven money columns; class I lines up over the STEP column and carries no dollar values, which is how the mapping above was inferred.
