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: 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Pleasant Valley 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.
Table caption in the agreement: EXPER BA BA+10 BA+20 MA MA+10 MA+20 MA+30
- Soft spot: the only grid readable in this agreement is its 2027-28 table, a future year of a multi-year contract
- Soft spot: the agreement also states index multipliers and a generator base; the figures shown are the dollar amounts the agreement itself prints
