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: 07/01/2024 - 06/30/2027.
Bargained with Collingswood EA.
Read from the text layer of the PDF filed with PERC.
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.
Steps 2, 3 and 4 are one frozen step on the guide, printed as "2-4"; the top step is printed "20+".
The guide prints longevity beside it: $500 at 10 years and $3,000 at 20 or more years. Longevity is paid on top of the guide.
The same page carries the 2025-26 guide above this one; the district's administrative assistant and instructional assistant guides are separate schedules.
