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: 07/01/2023 - 06/30/2026.
Bargained with Dennis 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.
The guide is Article 9, Schedule A-3 of the agreement, Teacher Salary Guides - Year Three 2025-2026, the final year of the 2023-26 term.
Longevity is paid on top of the guide and is not a column of it: the agreement adds $1,500 to base on Step A at the start of the 16th year, $2,000 on Step B at the start of the 20th year and $2,500 on Step C at the start of the 24th year.
- Soft spot: Step 2 in the MA column reads 59,155 on the page; the text read of it returned 39,155. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
- Soft spot: Step 2 in the MA+15 column reads 59,755 on the page; the text read of it returned 39,755. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
