Iowa has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Pay is bargained district by district, and this grid comes from the salary appendix of the agreement this district filed with the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board.
Agreement term: 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Newton Education Association.
Many Iowa schedules are index schedules, where each cell is a multiplier over a bargained generator base. Only figures the agreement prints in dollars are shown here.
