Worked example as rendered: B, step 0 = $46,000 a year, $3,833.33 a month spread over 12 months, $250.00 per work day on a 184-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Article XVI of the July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2027 agreement between the North Pocono Education Association and the North Pocono Board of Education; it prints a grid for 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27, and this record is the 2026-2027 grid, the last year of the contract.
Step 0 is the 'District Floating Teacher' rate (Article X: 80% of Bachelors Step 1, no Masters columns); $46,000 = 0.80 x $57,500, which confirms the read.
The 2026-27 schedule collapses steps: old steps 1 and 2 are marked ELIMINATED and the grid runs 1-14. The contract also prints the prior-year ('25-26 Step') mapping, not reproduced here.
Work year: 180 instructional days plus 4 in-service/orientation days (Article VI); new hires work 185.
Lane labels are the contract's own; the previous (2020-2024) contract labelled the top lane 'Doctor', this one 'PhD'.
