This is the Traditional (26 pay checks) teacher grid on the district's BPS Salary Scales - Teachers sheet, headed "Teachers 09/01/23-08/31/24".

The same sheet carries a separate, higher Schedule A grid for Schedule A teachers, plus Career Award longevity amounts of $1,450 at 9 years rising to $5,250 at 44 years, and a Novice through Master career-ladder table. Those are not included here.

The grid comes from the 2021-24 Boston Public Schools / Boston Teachers Union collective bargaining agreement. The district also links a 2025-2026 addendum, but that folder is not publicly readable.

Soft spot: This is the most recent teacher grid the district or the Boston Teachers Union publishes. Rates for 2024-25 onward are not posted publicly, so this schedule may lag the amounts actually paid in 2026-27.
Soft spot: The document does not state the contract work year, so work_days is null.
