Schedule notes
EASMC agreement (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028), FY27 10-month teacher career ladder scale (printed page B-7), lettered steps A-T shown as 1-20; the scale says steps do not necessarily equal years of experience. Bachelor is Level 1B (Standard Professional Certificate); master is Level 2 (Masters or Advanced Professional Certificate). A Level 1A conditional-certificate lane starts at $55,661 and is not used. Doctorate is only a $3,000 stipend, not a lane, so null. Enrollment is Maryland Dept. of Planning Table 2 (MSDE September 30, 2024 actual); MSDE's September 30, 2025 table was blocked to automated fetch, so it is one year older than the figure used for the existing Maryland districts.
