Worked example as rendered: Starting Salary, years of service 0 = $50,000 a year, $4,166.67 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
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 A of the contract, headed "Franklin Community School Corporation New Hire Placement Base Salary Schedule 2025-2026".
The appendix states the schedule is used one time only, to establish a teacher's initial base salary; later increases are awarded under the contract's compensation plan to teachers rated highly effective or effective.
The first pass over the Gateway filings matched this corporation to another unit of a similar name and never read its own contract; this grid comes from the filing Gateway lists under this corporation.
Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $50,000.
Filed with Gateway on 10/22/2025.
- Soft spot: The salary appendix of this filing has no machine-readable text, so the grid was read off the page image and then checked digit by digit against an independent optical read of the same page.
