Worked example as rendered: A (1) BA, step 1 = $54,702 a year, $4,558.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
From Schedule A of the 2025-2027 agreement between the Minneapolis Board of Education and the Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59; the schedule reflects the 2.0% general increase effective July 1, 2025.
Minneapolis runs 21 lettered lanes, A through U, and prints degree markers only on some of them: BA at A, BA15 at B, BA30 at C, BA45 at D, BA60 at E, MA at G, MA15 at I, MA30 at K, MA45 at M, MA60 at O, PHD or ED at Q, and PHD & ED at S. Lanes with no degree marker are reproduced with their letter and number only.
National Board certification advances a teacher one lane.
The schedule is printed across two pages, lanes A through N then O through U, and is combined here.
- Soft spot: The agreement provides for a further 2.0% general increase effective July 1, 2026 but does not print a 2026-27 schedule, so this record is the district's most recent published grid and is one school year behind.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state contract days on the salary schedule.
