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 - 06/30/2024.
Bargained with Colts Neck 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 2023-24. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
The agreement prints one table per lane, each with a column per contract year. This grid is the 2023-24 column of the six lane tables, which run across three consecutive pages of the filing (BA and BA+30, then MA and MA+30, then MA+60 and Doctorate).
The step numbering differs from year to year in this agreement; the labels here are the ones printed beside the 2023-24 column, where steps 5 and 6 are one frozen step.
The MA table carries one extra row labelled OG, at 95,828 for 2023-24. It is not a numbered step and is not part of the grid.
- Soft spot: Step 11 in the MA+30 column is printed 93,781 in the agreement. That is higher than step 12 in the same column (86,481) and out of line with the rest of the table, so it looks like a typographical error in the filed guide, but the figure published is the one printed.
- Soft spot: The 2023-24 guide is spread over three pages of the filing, so the automatic check that every figure appears in the text of the named page could not cover all six lanes at once; each figure was read off the rendered page instead.
