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 Cape May City 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 agreement runs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, and 2024-2025 is the last year it carries.
The agreement adds that teachers who were on step 20 in 2023-2024 are now off guide, that teachers off guide before 2023-2024 stay off guide, and that the off-guide increase is $4,000.
