Worked example as rendered: Bachelor, step 1 = $60,927 a year, $5,077.25 a month spread over 12 months, $329.34 per work day on a 185-day year. 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. This grid is the FY27 CCTA salary table (2026-2027) in section 3.3 of the signed 2024-2027 agreement between the Concord-Carlisle Regional District School Committee and the Concord-Carlisle Teachers' Association.
The agreement prints three base schedules (2024-25, 2025-26, 2026-27), each a 3% increase; this is the 2026-27 year, the last of the contract.
Section 3.5.1 sets the teacher period of employment at 185 days.
Excludes co-curricular differentials (Article 6) and experience/longevity increments (section 3.4).
- Soft spot: Every 2026-27 cell was checked against the 2025-26 table in the same agreement times 1.03; all 128 cells agree within $1 rounding.
- Soft spot: The signed agreement is posted on the district site; the DESE Educator Contracts filing for this district still carries the older contract.
