Schedule notes
FY27 negotiated teacher career ladder, 10-month, effective 11/06/2026, steps 1-20. Bachelor is the Bachelors column; master is the Masters/Equivalency column (a separate Masters+30 and Masters+60 lane exists, not used); doctorate is the Doctorate column. Maxes are step 20; NBCT/MOC and other enhancements excluded. 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.
