Published by the Fulton County Board of Education as the FY27 regular teacher schedule for the 2026-2027 school year; the PDF prints a semi-monthly amount beside each annual figure.
Steps 0 through 3 all pay the entry rate, and steps 21 through 23 are flat.
The schedule carries an extra off-schedule row, 'OS*: FY09 Only', paying $94,974 / $104,746 / $113,693 / $121,741 across the four lanes; it is a grandfathered rate rather than a step and is not included in the grid above.
Special education teachers, teacher support specialists, Pre-K teachers and BSP staff have their own FY27 schedules.
