Appendix B of the agreement between the Red Lion Area School District and the Red Lion Area Education Association, July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029; the agreement prints five annual grids and this is the one headed “2026-2027”.
The grid prints two step columns side by side: “From Top” counting 14 down to 1 and then Top, and “To the Top” counting 1 to 15. The steps recorded here are the “To the Top” numbers, so step 15 is the top of the scale.
The normal work year is 192 days; newly hired employees may be assigned up to four additional induction days at per diem.
