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, "New Certified Hiring Information", headed "2025-2026 New Hire Salary Schedule (after ratification)". The appendix also prints the pre-ratification schedule, $500 lower at every level.
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.
The appendix maps the levels to experience: level A is 0 years, B is 1 year and so on, and the superintendent may hire at no less than 50% of a candidate's current years of experience.
Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $52,000.
Filed with Gateway on 11/14/2025.
- 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.
