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 "Salary Chart 2025-2027 (After Increases)".
One ladder of lettered categories rather than a degree grid; the first rung is labelled "New Hire".
Gateway also reports this corporation's minimum full-time teacher salary as $52,500.
Filed with Gateway on 11/11/2025.
