Indiana has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Pay is bargained corporation by corporation, and this grid comes from the salary appendix of the teacher contract this corporation filed with the state under IC 20-29.

Indiana's 2011 bargaining law bars paying on degree and experience alone, so many corporations letter their rows instead of numbering them by years of service and name their columns after endorsements rather than credit hours.

Appendix B of the contract, headed "New Hire Salary Schedule, SY 2025-26, New Hire".

This is the placement schedule the contract publishes for teachers new to the corporation. Returning teachers are paid their prior-year salary plus the bargained increase, which the same contract sets out separately.

Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $48,273.

Filed with Gateway on 11/14/2025.
