'PEA - 2024-25 Teacher Salary Tables', the newest Pontiac Education Association schedule posted under Current Bargaining Agreements on the district's Munetrix transparency page.
The document prints the grid transposed, as blocks of four step columns with the classes (BA, MA, MA+30, PhD, GSRP) as rows; it has been turned back into one row per step here.
Steps run 1 through 22 and then jump to 26 and 31, exactly as printed.
A GSRP row of hourly rates ($29.42 to $35.61 at steps 1-4, n/a above) is printed under the grid and is excluded.
The district's PEA tentative agreement dated April 11, 2025 retains this pay schedule with the 2.57% increase already applied and does not publish a newer grid.
- Soft spot: No 2025-26 or 2026-27 teacher grid is published; the tentative agreement only says the parties will meet and confer about a modified step schedule with a maximum of 19 steps for 2025-26 and 17 steps for 2026-27.
- Soft spot: No teacher work-day count is stated on the salary table.
