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: 07/01/2023 - 06/30/2026.
Bargained with Blairstown 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 2025-26. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
This is the third and last year of the 2023-2026 agreement. The agreement also prints 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 guides, each with its own step ladder.
Steps 4-5, 6-7, 9-10, 15-16 and 18-19 are frozen pairs on this year's guide and are printed that way; the top step is printed 22+.
The last column is headed MA60/PhD on the page.
- Soft spot: Step 13 in the MA+45 column reads 74,975 on the page; the text read of it returned 74,979. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
