Schedule notes
2026-27 teacher schedule from Appendix A (p. 44) of the Bridgeport Education Association contract, 2024-2028, posted on the district's collective bargaining agreements page; 186-day base year. Steps 1-5 are removed, so pay starts at step 6. There is no doctorate lane: the contract pays a $750 Ph.D. stipend that is not available to teachers hired on or after July 1, 2014, so doctorate is null. A 6th Year lane runs $55,444 to $107,539.
