Worked example as rendered: BA+15 / 0, step A = $57,206 a year, $4,767.17 a month spread over 12 months, $296.40 per work day on a 193-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A-3 of the Portland Association of Teachers collective bargaining agreement, titled Salary Schedule for July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026, 193 Days.
The district lists this on its salary-schedules page as Professional Educators (2025-2026 - 193 day work year); it is the most recent professional educator schedule PPS publishes.
There is no plain bachelor's column: the lowest lane on the schedule is BA+15.
Each column carries two headings, the semester-hour count and the equivalent degree, both of which are kept in the lane labels above.
Not included in the grid: an additional $2,000 for an earned doctorate in a field related to the assignment and an additional $1,500 for National Board Certification for Professional Teaching Standards.
Graduate hours beyond a BA earned before licensure are not counted for salary placement unless they are part of a completed graduate degree (Section 12.2.1.4).
- Soft spot: As of September 2026 PPS has not published a 2026-27 professional educator schedule, so this grid is the prior school year.
- Soft spot: The document is a scanned image, so the figures were read off a 200 dpi render rather than extracted text.
