Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, from top 16 = $56,970 a year, $4,747.50 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 collective bargaining agreement between the School District of Muhlenberg (Berks County) and the Muhlenberg Education Association, July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The agreement prints a separate grid for each of the five contract years; this is the 2026-27 grid.
Muhlenberg numbers its steps DOWN from the top of the scale: step 16 is the entry step and "Top" is the maximum. The rows are reproduced in the document's own order, so salary rises as the list is read downward.
Article XV.3 sets the annual movement of the whole grid: +$2,695 per cell in 2023-24, +$2,275 in 2024-25 and +$2,000 in each of 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28. The 2026-27 grid is exactly the 2025-26 grid plus $2,000 in every cell, which was used as an independent check on the parse.
The school calendar (Article XVI.A) is 180 instructional days plus 5 in-service days and 2 clerical days; the agreement does not state a single contract-days figure, so work_days is left null.
Extracurricular compensation is a separate schedule and is not included here.
