The following salary grids are based on BCPSEA data from July 2010.
A teacher’s salary category is assigned by the Teacher Qualification Service (TQS). It is based on TQS’ evaluation of a teacher’s training; professional and academic qualifications.
Within districts, there may be remote and rural communities. Please note that employees working in these communities are eligible to receive a remote and rural allowance, which is both an adjustment to the salary grid and an annual allowance of $2,300 per FTE. Teachers on call (TOCs) are not eligible to receive this allowance.
