This document records the official salary schedule adopted by the Boston School Committee for teachers and supervisory staff from January through August 1920. It lays out the exact pay rates, annual increments, and conditions for advancement that governed public education employees in the early twentieth‑century city. The language reflects the careful bureaucratic phrasing typical of municipal ordinances of the era.
Readers will find detailed tables for positions ranging from head masters and department heads to junior masters, assistants, and clerical aides, showing first‑year salaries, yearly raises, and maximum limits. The schedule also explains how increments were applied based on years of service and whether an employee had already reached the top of the previous pay band. For anyone interested in the history of education, labor economics, or municipal governance, the record offers a concrete glimpse into how teachers were valued and compensated a century ago.

A long-running public body rather than a single writer, this committee helped shape Boston’s public schools for generations. Its reports and minutes offer a direct window into how one of America’s oldest urban school systems was governed.
