Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, step 1 = $61,204 a year, $5,100.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix I of the 2023-2028 agreement between the Dover Area School District Board of School Directors and the Dover Area Education Association. The agreement prints a separate dollar grid for each of 2023-24 through 2026-27; this record is the 2026-27 grid.
The printed grid has two step columns: 'Steps From Top' (14 down to 1, then 'Top') and 'Old System' (1-15). The steps here are the 'Old System' numbers, which run 1 (entry) to 15 (maximum).
Bachelor's-only employees hired after 2008-09 advance no further than Step 6 in the Bachelors column; the frozen 65,994 cells for steps 6-11 reflect that.
Cross-checked against PSEA's public teacher-salary survey (spring 2027 = SY2026-27): starting salary $61,204 and 14 steps to the top, matching this grid's Step 1 Bachelors cell and its 15 rows exactly.
- Soft spot: The dollar grids are scanned images inside the PDF; transcribed visually and confirmed by an independent tesseract --psm 4 pass that matched every cell.
