Exhibit B-2 of the CASD / Chambersburg Area Education Association agreement (2025-2029), approved at the June 24, 2025 board meeting. The agreement prints four grids (Exhibits B-1 through B-4 for 2025-26 through 2028-29); this record is Exhibit B-2, 2026-27.
Columns 15/30/45/60 are graduate credits beyond the conferred Master's degree (Article 13.2.C); D is the doctorate column.
The contract's own note on the grid reads '$3,042 increase to each step' over 2025-26.
Longevity payments ($300 at year 16, $200 more at years 21, 26 and 31) and guidance-counselor supplements are paid on top of the schedule and are not in the grid.
Work year is 186 days (194 for grandfathered employees), Article 5.1.
- Soft spot: The four salary grids are images with no text layer. Values were read visually from a 300 dpi render and independently confirmed two ways: tesseract OCR of the same page, and cell-by-cell arithmetic against Exhibit B-1 (2025-26), where every 2026-27 cell equals the 2025-26 cell plus the stated $3,042.
