Appendix A of the Carmel Teachers' Association contract for 7/1/2023 through 6/30/2026. The schedule is single track: it has no degree lanes, only a step, an index running 1.00 to 1.84, and one salary column for each of the three contract years. This is the 2025-26 column.
Longevity and tenure money is paid on top of the cell: a tenure payment of $4,402, a 15th year increment of $4,373 and a 20th year increment of $5,264 in 2025-26.
The contract is a scan with no text layer, so the figures were read from the page image.
- Soft spot: The contract expired 6/30/2026 and the district publishes no 2026-27 schedule, so this is the newest year it prints.
