Worked example as rendered: A, step 1 = $55,295 a year, $4,607.92 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

Appendix B, Section III.B of the Master Agreement between the Central Dauphin Education Association and the Board of School Directors, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2027. The agreement prints four grids (2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26, 2026-27); this record is the 2026-27 grid, the final year of the contract.

Column A is the Registered Nurse column, not a teacher preparation lane: the agreement sets the RN salary as a percentage (90-100% by years of service) of the Column B starting salary. Columns B through H are teacher preparation levels (B = less than a Master's; C = Master's; D = required Master's 45-59 credits, grandfathered; E = M+30; F = M+45; G = M+60; H = Doctorate). National Teacher Certification is paid at Column E.

Longevity and extracurricular stipends in Appendices C and D are excluded.

Soft spot: The district removed this PDF in its 2024 website migration (the cms/lib URL now returns a Cloudflare 403/404 and no page on the current Finalsite site links a teacher contract); the document parsed is the Internet Archive capture of 2024-02-29 of the district's own file.
