Worked example as rendered: B, years 0 = $52,696 a year, $4,391.33 a month spread over 12 months, $275.90 per work day on a 191-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix I, Year 3 (2026/27) of the July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2029 agreement between the Quakertown Community School District and the Quakertown Community Education Association (signed 11-14-2024).
The schedule is built as a percentage matrix off a single base; the 2026/27 base rises 1.25% exclusive of increment (2.4% inclusive).
Steps are labelled 'Years Experience' on the district's percentage table.
The yearly term of employment is 191 days; newly hired teachers work 191 days plus ten extra days in year one and five extra days in year two.
Since July 1, 2013 the B and B+24 columns end at Step 6 except for members grandfathered on that date, although the printed grid still carries values for steps 7-13 in those two columns.
Registered-nurse rates (Appendix II) and athletic/activity unit pay (Appendices III and IV) are excluded.
- Soft spot: The contract states 'Step 0 is removed effective July 1, 2025', yet the 2026/27 grid still prints a step 0 row; the row is reproduced as printed.
- Soft spot: Every cell was independently reconstructed from the contract's own percentage table (base 106,997) and matched to within $1 of the printed figures, the difference being the district's rounding of the base.
