Worked example as rendered: B.S., row A = $45,939 a year, $3,828.25 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 of the 2025-2026 Carmel Clay Schools / Carmel Clay Education Association collective bargaining agreement, titled "TEACHER SALARY SCHEDULE for 2025-2026".
The district numbers the columns 1 through 7 above the degree labels shown here.
Rows are lettered A through S. Cells are blank where the district publishes no value (row Q has no B.S. amount, row R no B.S. or B.S.+15, row S only M.S. and above).
Movement is not automatic: a teacher rated Meets Expectations moves down one row; a teacher rated Does Not Meet Expectations stays at the prior year salary. A teacher may move only one column to the right in any one contract year.
Extracurricular pay is a separate Appendix B index and is not included in these figures.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state the number of contract days, so work_days is null.
