Worked example as rendered: B, step 1 = $60,332 a year, $5,027.67 a month spread over 12 months, $317.54 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.
Section B, Yearly Salary Scale 2026-2027, of the 2025-2030 agreement between the West Jefferson Hills School District and the Jefferson Federation of Teachers, Local 1900, AFT (final signed agreement approved March 25, 2025).
The agreement also prints 2025-26 through 2029-30 scales.
The contract notes that an employee on Step 16A is actually paid the average of the Step 16A and Step 16B salaries for that year, and is considered on Step 16B at the end of it.
The employee work year is 190 days.
- Soft spot: Steps 16A and 16B are far above step 15 (the B column jumps from $69,867 to $94,496 and $119,691). That is how the district prints its scale; per the contract note, a 16A employee is paid the average of 16A and 16B, so no single cell is the actual top-step pay.
- Soft spot: This document was located through the district's BoardDocs library rather than the district website, which does not post the agreement; the landing URL is the BoardDocs public portal.
