OUR compensation structure
Teacher Compensation
Bridge Boston Charter School is committed to recruiting, developing and retaining high-performing teachers. To that end, in 2020 Bridge Boston Charter School announced a new teacher compensation system that ensures teachers at Bridge Boston are among the highest paid charter school teachers in the Boston area. The system includes a transparent teacher salary scale that provides qualifying teachers who have met certain state licensure requirements with a competitive base salary based on their years of teaching experience. This salary scale provides qualifying teachers with an 8% increase in salary after their 3rd through 5th year of teaching and a 5% increase after their 7th through 10th year of teaching. Many teachers at Bridge Boston also receive additional stipends on top of their base salary, such as a $2,000 stipend for teachers who assume positions in identified Hard to Fill roles.
Bridge Boston is committed to ensuring that its salary scale remains competitive with other charter schools in Boston, and will therefore review the salary scale on a regular basis and adjust it as needed. As part of its efforts to retain its highest-performing teachers, Bridge Boston has launched a “Lead Teacher Plus” salary scale for teachers that remain in the classroom but take on increased responsibilities associated with coaching and developing educators at BBCS.
