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: 07/01/2019 - 06/30/2024.
Bargained with Fairfield 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 guide is headed "Teacher Salary Guide, July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024" and is the last year of the 2019-2024 agreement, which is the newest agreement the district has on file with PERC.
The guide starts at step 2; the agreement prints no step 1 row.
The agreement also carries separate guides for custodians, secretaries and instructional aides, which are not part of this guide.
- Soft spot: The lane headings were read as BA+I5 and MA+I5; the page prints BA+15 and MA+15.
- Soft spot: Step 8 in the BA column reads 59,084 on the page; the text read of it returned 50,084. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
- Soft spot: Step 17 in the BA column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 83,234, and that is the figure published.
