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: 07/01/2025 - 06/30/2029.
Bargained with Central Reg 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 2026-27. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
The guide's first line is step 0, printed at $42,000 in every column.
Steps 2 and 3 are a single frozen line on the guide, labelled 2-3.
The three lines labelled OG are the off-guide rates printed at the foot of the same table, above step 18.
- Soft spot: The step 14 line was dropped by the automatic table read and was transcribed from the rendered page; every figure on it was then checked against the page.
- Soft spot: Step 14 in the MA+30 column reads 91,013 on the page; the text read of it returned 911,013. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
