Schedule notes
From the 2024-2027 BPS-BTU collective bargaining agreement (contract book PDF page 108), salary schedule effective September 1, 2026 - August 31, 2027. The district's own salary page still posts only the 2023-24 grid, so the contract book linked from the Boston Teachers Union contracts page is used. Steps 1-9; master is the Master's lane (column C), doctorate is column D. A separate, higher Schedule A in the contract is not shown here. Enrollment is DESE Enrollment by Grade, 2025-26 (district total).
