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: 07/01/2021 - 06/30/2026.
Bargained with Chesterfield Tp 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.
Schedule E of the agreement, Year 5, headed Chesterfield 2025-26 Teachers Salary Guide. It is the last of the five yearly guides in the agreement.
The guide prints a step 12A between step 12 and step 13; the label is the districts own.
Longevity is paid on top of the step rate and is not part of the grid: a recurring, non-cumulative payment of 900 dollars a year to certificated employees at the beginning of their 15th year of employment in the district, paid across the regular pay periods.
