Article XI of the July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2031 agreement between the Chester Upland School District and the Chester Upland Education Association, PSEA/NEA, approved by the board on January 22, 2026. The agreement prints a grid for each of its five years; this is the 2026-2027 grid.
The four later grids (2027-28 through 2030-31) are printed in the same document.
- Soft spot: The salary grids are embedded PNG images inside the .docx, not tables; transcribed from the image and confirmed by an independent tesseract --psm 4 pass that matched every cell.
- Soft spot: PSEA's public survey records 12 steps to the top for Chester Upland, consistent with the 13 printed rows, but its starting-salary figure ($51,663) is carried at the spring-2026 vintage (SY2025-26) and so is not comparable to this 2026-27 grid.
