Worked example as rendered: B+, step 1 = $51,600 a year, $4,300.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A of the CRSD/CREA tentative agreement dated 28 May 2025, approved by the Board of School Directors on 19 June 2025 (agenda item 7.CC). The agreement runs five years, July 1 2025 to June 30 2030, and prints a separate matrix for the base year and each of years one through five; this is the "Year 2" matrix, which the agreement's own text identifies as 2026-2027.
The B+ and B+15 columns stop at step 7; steps 8 through 14 are blank in those two columns on the printed grid and are recorded as null.
The agreement describes the 2026-27 grid exactly: B+ step 1 rises $454 over 2025-26, every other step-1 cell rises $50, each step from 2 up is $4,000 above the one below it, and step 14 is $4,160 above step 13. Every cell reproduced here satisfies that rule.
Council Rock does not post the collective bargaining agreement on crsd.org; the ratified document is only available as the attachment to the June 2025 board agenda in BoardDocs.
- Soft spot: The PDF is a scan with no text layer. The grid was transcribed visually from a 200 dpi render, independently re-read with tesseract OCR (--psm 4), and then re-derived from the increase rules the agreement itself states; all three agree.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days, so work_days is null.
