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 Barnegat EA.
The guide is printed inside the filed agreement as an image, so it was read off the page as rendered and every figure was then checked against that page.
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.
The page is headed "Certified Staff/Teachers Salary Guide (continued)" and the guide is the third year of the 2024-2027 agreement.
Frozen step ranges (1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-11, 13-14, 26-27, 28-29, 31+) are kept as the district prints them.
Longevity is paid on top of the guide: $500 after 10 years, $1,000 after 15, $1,500 after 20, $1,750 after 25. Anyone hired after July 1, 2015 is not eligible.
