Worked example as rendered: BS, step 1 = $62,630 a year, $5,219.17 a month spread over 12 months, $327.91 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.
Taken from Addendum D of the November 27, 2023 Memorandum of Agreement between the district and the West Chester Area Education Association, which is the schedule in force for 2026-27. The MOA supersedes the salary addenda printed in the 2022-2027 collective bargaining agreement: it re-lettered the schedules so that Addendum A applies from the 12th pay of 2023-24, B from July 1 2024, C from July 1 2025 and D from July 1 2026, and it raised every cell (the CBA's own Addendum E for 2026-27 started at $59,500 on step 1 BS against $62,630 here).
The schedule also carries an LTS (long-term substitute) rate of $59,499 in the BS column only; it is not a teacher step and is excluded from the grid.
The work year is 182 student days and 191 total work days (CBA section 7.01).
- Soft spot: The MOA PDF is a scan with no text layer. The grid was transcribed visually from a 250 dpi render and independently OCR'd twice (250 dpi and 400 dpi, tesseract --psm 4); the two OCR passes agreed with the visual read on 149 of 150 cells. Both OCR passes read step 5 / DOC as $82,974; a 600 dpi crop of that single cell reads $82,971, and that is the value used.
- Soft spot: The underlying 2022-2027 CBA is also saved (raw/pa_wave/4225290.pdf) but its addenda are the superseded ones.
