Worked example as rendered: Class II (BA), index 1 = $51,203.77 a year, $4,266.98 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The document is headed 2024 Salary Schedule 2% raise effective July 1, 2024 and is the schedule the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers publishes for its members.
Each column carries a class number and a credential, both of which are kept in the lane labels above. The schedule starts at Class II; there is no Class I column.
The district's own website does not publish a teacher salary schedule; the union's member resource guide is the public source.
The steps are printed under the heading Index and run 1 through 30.
The schedule repeats rates across several steps (10 through 14, 15 through 19, 20 through 24 and 25 through 29 are each flat), which is how the document prints it.
- Soft spot: This is the newest teacher schedule Cincinnati publishes anywhere we could find. The union's member resource guide labels the link CFT Salary Schedule 2025 - 2026 and its 2026-27 salary cheat sheet links text reading 2026_2027 Salary Schedule July 1, 2026, but both point at this same file, whose own heading says July 1, 2024. school_year is recorded from the document rather than from the link text.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the contract work year, so work_days is null.
