Appendix A (Professional Compensation) of the collective bargaining agreement between the Easton Area School District and the Easton Area Education Association; the appendix prints a 2026-2027 'Year 2' grid and a 2027-2028 'Year 3' grid, and this record is the 2026-2027 grid.
The last row is printed as step 15 and labelled 'Top'; the schedule also carries a 'To Max' column counting years to the top step, which is descriptive and is not reproduced here.
Longevity payments and supplemental salaries are separate from this grid and are not included.
- Soft spot: The contract is a scan with no text layer; the grid was transcribed visually from a 200 dpi render and cross-checked against a tesseract --psm 4 OCR pass at 350 dpi, which agreed on every cell after allowing for OCR digit noise.
- Soft spot: The contract days for the teacher work year were not located in the scanned agreement, so work_days is null.
