Ohio has no statewide teacher salary schedule. Pay is bargained district by district, and this grid comes from the salary appendix of the district's current collective bargaining agreement as filed with the Ohio State Employment Relations Board.
Agreement term: 2022-08-01 to 2026-07-31.
Bargained with OEA CTA.
The agreement labels this table 2025-26. A successor agreement may already be in force locally; the year shown is the year printed in the filed document.
Table caption in the agreement: YEAR BACH BA+6 BA+12 BA+18 BA+24 MAST MA+15 MA+30
- Soft spot: 7 cells blank in the first parse (thousands separators split by OCR, e.g. '61 ,000') were filled 2026-09-28 from the same row of the filed document's text layer; every other cell in each filled row matched exactly.
