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 the rows are lettered categories rather than years of service and the columns often name endorsements rather than credit hours.
Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $45,000.
Filed with Gateway on 11/14/2025.
