Article 8, Bayonne Teacher Salary Guides, Year 3 2026-27, from the agreement between the Bayonne Board of Education and the Bayonne Education Association effective July 1 2024 through June 30 2029. The district's own website publishes no teachers' agreement; this is the copy the association posts.
Bayonne runs a single guide column rather than degree lanes. Higher attainment is paid on top of the guide: MA $2,500, MA+30 $3,760, Doctorate $5,020.
Longevity is also paid on top of the guide: $4,400 after 16 years, $7,280 after 18, $9,160 after 22, $10,420 after 26 and $11,800 after 30.
Step 1 for 2026-27 is the rate for teachers hired in 2026-2027 and step 2 the rate for those hired in 2024-2025 or 2025-2026, which is how the guide labels its first two rows. The agreement eliminated the first step in 2025-26 and again in 2027-28, so the printed table carries a blank row above step 1.
The agreement is a scan. The figures were read off the rendered page image, checked against an independent OCR pass, and checked against the 2025-2026 column printed beside them: steps 3 to 11 are each exactly $3,696 higher than the same step a year earlier, steps 12 and 13 exactly $3,604 higher, and steps 15 to 18 exactly $1,404 higher.
