New Jersey has no statewide teacher salary schedule and the state Department of Education publishes no collection of them. Pay is bargained district by district, and this guide comes from the salary appendix of the agreement the district filed with the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission.
Agreement term: 07/01/2024 - 06/30/2027.
Bargained with Audubon EA.
The agreement is on file at PERC as a scan with no text layer. The guide was read off the scanned page and every figure was then checked against the page as rendered.
The agreement labels this guide 2026-27. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
Audubon's guide has a single salary column per contract year rather than degree lanes. The page prints the 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27 columns side by side; the 2026-27 column is the one published here.
Degrees are paid as flat additions to the step figure, printed in a separate box on the same page: BA+30 $1,800, MA $3,400, MA+30 $4,000. Longevity is $4,000.
The page notes that all current teachers stayed on their existing step for 2024-25 and move one step per year in 2025-26 and 2026-27.
