Worked example as rendered: STD, steps 1 = $51,550 a year, $4,295.83 a month spread over 12 months, $278.65 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A of the September 1, 2025 - August 31, 2030 collective bargaining agreement between the Hazleton Area School District and the Hazleton Area Education Association; it prints a grid for each of 2025-26 through 2029-30 and this record is the 2026-2027 grid.
Schedule A gives a 5.5% increase each contract year, inclusive of step increment.
The grid also carries a 'To Max' column counting years remaining to the top step; the last row is labelled 'Max' opposite step 14. That column is not reproduced here.
'STD' is the district's Standard column (vocational teachers before Vocational I certification, attendance officers without a bachelor's degree).
Article VII sets the school term at a maximum of 185 bargaining-unit days.
- Soft spot: The salary grids are embedded images (about 155 dpi); cells were transcribed visually and matched cell-for-cell by a separate tesseract --psm 4 pass on each column crop.
- Soft spot: The contract year runs September 1 - August 31, so the effective date is taken as 2026-09-01; the schedule itself prints no effective date.
- Soft spot: work_days is the contractual maximum (185), not a fixed count.
