Worked example as rendered: Bachelors, experience/degree New Hire/EP = $53,000 a year, $4,416.67 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 VII of the contract, headed "New Hire Salary Schedule for 2025-26 SY" under "Hiring Schedule 2025-2026 School Year". The appendix states it is used for the sole purpose of determining initial salary schedule placement.
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 "New Hire/EP" row is the placement for a teacher hired on an emergency permit.
Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $53,000.
Filed with Gateway on 11/12/2025.
- 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. Every cell was additionally checked against the 2026-27 schedule printed on the following page, which is exactly $2,000 higher throughout.
