Worked example as rendered: B, step 2 = $60,171 a year, $5,014.25 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. This grid is Appendix A (S.E.A. pay scales) of the 2025-2028 agreement between the Shrewsbury School Committee and the Shrewsbury Education Association, effective August 25, 2025.
2026-27 table: Step 5 dropped; 2.75% COLA through Step 6, 3.0% for Steps 7-12, 3.25% for Step 13.
The contract restructures the schedule by deleting steps: Step 1 was dropped in 2025-26 and Step 5 in 2026-27 (Step 2 goes in 2027-28). The document prints the deleted steps struck through; they are omitted here and the remaining steps keep the contract's own numbers, so there is no Step 1 or Step 5.
Excludes athletic, director and extra-duty stipends (Appendices B-D).
- Soft spot: The posted contract is a scan with no text layer; the grid was read off the rendered page image (page 55 of the PDF, printed page 55).
- Soft spot: Every 2026-27 cell was independently checked as the 2025-26 table (printed page 54, also transcribed) times the stated COLA (2.75% / 3.0% / 3.25%); all 77 cells agree within $1 rounding.
- Soft spot: The DESE Educator Contracts filing still carries the 2022-2025 agreement; this newer contract comes from the union's own site.
