The district posts "First Day" and "Midpoint" versions of each year's schedule. This is the 2026-2027 First Day schedule; no 2026-2027 midpoint schedule is posted yet.
Column headings run over two printed lines, so the lane names here join both lines, for example "MA / Lowell A & B".
The document's step notes: Step 6A applies to teachers hired after the end of the 2004-2005 school year; Step 8 on completion of 10 years of teaching service, Step 8B 15 years, Step 9 20 years, Step 9B 25 years, Step 10 30 years and Step 10B 35 years.
- Soft spot: The schedule does not state a contract work year, so work_days is null.
