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-1 of the contract, headed "2025-2026 New Hire Salary Placement Schedule"; Appendix A-2 prints a differently shaped 2026-2027 schedule.
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 $47,000.
Filed with Gateway on 11/07/2025.
- 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.
- Soft spot: The columns are numbered rather than named in the appendix, and the grid is irregular: the gaps between rows and between columns vary, so every cell was read individually.
