Experienced teachers lose guaranteed five-year contract offers

Beginning October 1, 2026, Alabama no longer requires five-year contract offers for qualifying teachers in its TEAMS salary program. This applies to teachers with more than 20 years of service meeting the program’s advanced-contract criteria. These teachers can still receive contracts lasting up to five years, but shorter terms are allowed. This change does not end contracts signed before October 1, 2026.
