Worked example as rendered: B, step 1 = $65,478 a year, $5,456.50 a month spread over 12 months, $346.44 per work day on a 189-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Schedule A - Salaries of the collective bargaining agreement between the Board of School Directors of the Upper Dublin School District and the Upper Dublin Education Association, July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2028, approved by the board on September 29, 2025. The agreement prints 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 grids; this is 2026-2027.
“PC” is the permanent certification column. The agreement freezes it: no employee may enter PC steps 11-14 after June 30, 2027 and no additional money is applied to those cells after July 1, 2027. B steps 7-14 and PC steps 11-14 are printed with an asterisk marking them frozen.
The employee work year is 189 working days plus 7.25 additional hours of staff development.
The district does not post this agreement on udsd.org; it is the board-approved copy attached to the September 29, 2025 BoardDocs agenda item.
- Soft spot: The PC column is not monotonic: it rises to $86,798 at step 10 and then drops to a flat $86,575 for steps 11-14. That is how the agreement prints it, because those cells are frozen and no further money is applied to them after July 1, 2027.
