Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, step 1 = $52,132 a year, $4,344.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A, section A-1 (2024-2027 Teacher Salary Scale) of the CBA between the Woonsocket Education Department and the Woonsocket Teachers Guild, July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027. The appendix prints one grid per fiscal year; the FY 2027 (2026-2027) grid is recorded here.
The FY 2027 grid is the FY 2026 grid raised 4 percent at every step.
The lanes past Bachelors are the Professional Advancement Schedule (A-2.01) applied to the tenth-step bachelor's salary: B plus 30 hours 2.10 percent, Master's 4.75 percent, Master's plus 15 hours 5.25 percent, Master's plus 30 hours and MSW 6.00 percent, National Board Certified 6.25 percent. The published grid already includes those amounts.
The FY 2026 and earlier grids label the fifth lane M+30/MSW; the FY 2027 grid shortens it to M+30/MS, and the FY 2027 heading is used here.
The contract sets a teacher work year of 180 instructional days plus one orientation day, one professional development day and two evening parent-teacher conference sessions; it does not print a single total-days figure, so work_days is left null.
- Soft spot: The contract PDF is a scan with no text layer. Numbers were read by OCR and then verified against a high-resolution rendering of the FY 2027 grid by eye; every cell also reconciles with the Professional Advancement percentages in A-2.01 to within a dollar of rounding.
- Soft spot: The document is hosted on the district's Google Drive contracts folder; the recorded source URL is the Drive viewer link for that file.
