Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, step 1 = $54,768 a year, $4,564.00 a month spread over 12 months, $288.25 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Fourth and final year of the 2023-2027 Ridley School District / Ridley Education Association collective bargaining agreement; the agreement prints separate grids for 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27 and this record is the 2026-27 grid.
The Bachelors and Bach +12 columns end at step 10; the printed grid shows $0 in steps 11-15 of those two columns, which is recorded here as no cell (null) rather than a salary of zero.
The agreement also prints a separate one-line 'Grandfathered' rate under columns C, D and E ($115,804 / $117,410 / $118,481 for 2026-27) for members grandfathered under the 1995-96 schedule; those are not steps and are not included in the grid.
Article 26 states the work year shall not exceed 190 days.
