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 Clementon 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.
This is Year 2 of the 2025-2029 agreement, the 2026-27 guide. The agreement also prints 2025-26, 2027-28 and 2028-29 guides.
Steps 3-4, 11-12 and 13-14 are frozen pairs on this year's guide and are printed that way, and the guide carries half steps 17A and 17B above step 17.
- Soft spot: A 0 recorded below for an earlier read means the text read of the scan returned nothing for that cell, not a salary of zero.
- Soft spot: The step label on the third row is printed as 3-4, a frozen pair; a stray mark in the scan makes it look like 3-44.
- Soft spot: Step 5 in the BA column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 60,070, and that is the figure published.
- Soft spot: Step 8 in the MA column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 67,830, and that is the figure published.
- Soft spot: Step 9 in the MA+15 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 70,680, and that is the figure published.
- Soft spot: Step 10 in the BA+15 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 68,970, and that is the figure published.
