Schedule notes
2026-27 Appendix B certified salary schedule from the 2025-2027 Bozeman Education Association agreement. It is posted as an image and these amounts were read from it. Enrollment is the OPI FY2026 fall (October 2025) student count, elementary (4,668) and high school (2,983) combined. There is no plain MA lane, so 'master's' here is the lowest master's lane, BA/MA+45. Other lanes run from BA+15 to BA/MA+105, which tops at $95,962. Teachers past step 18 on the top lane get $750 to $1,500 more after 2, 5, 8 and 11 years. No doctorate lane.
