Teachers are paid for 190 working days and receive 12 monthly checks, the first in September and the last in August for the corresponding school year. First-year teachers and transfers from other states may opt to get paid in 13 payments, August to August. This means pay is divided into 13 payments instead of 12. Salary is based on the state base for years of creditable service. The Carrollton City School System offers local supplements in addition to the state teacher salary.

Teachers earn 12 1/2 days of sick leave per contract year. Teachers may use three of these days for personal reasons each year. As a benefit to teachers, the school system advances sick leave for the current year. Unused sick leave accumulates and rolls over to the next year. Every 20 days of accumulated sick leave equals one month of service toward retirement.
