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: 07/01/2022 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with Bridgewater-Raritan 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 2024-25. 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 YEAR 3 of 3, 2024-25, the last guide the agreement prints.
- Soft spot: Step 12-14 in the BA column reads 72,645 on the page. The text read of the page ran that figure into the step label and left the cell empty; it was restored from the page as rendered.
