Worked example as rendered: BACH, step 1 = $56,760 a year, $4,730.00 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Massachusetts has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Pay is bargained district by district, and this grid comes from the salary appendix of this district's teacher collective bargaining agreement as filed with the state.
The agreement labels this table 2023-24. Massachusetts does not require districts to file a current contract, so a successor agreement may already be in force locally; the year shown is the year printed in the filed document.
- Soft spot: Lane labels were cleaned 2026-09-28 from OCR-garbled headers in the filed document (e.g. 'BA+l5' -> 'BA+15'); cells unchanged.
