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 - 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Freehold Boro EA.
The guide is printed inside the filed agreement as an image, so it was read off the page as rendered and every figure was then checked against that page.
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.
Year 4 (2026-27) of the 2023-2028 Freehold Boro EA agreement. The guide starts on page 42 and steps 9 through 13 are printed at the top of page 43.
The agreement prints below the guide: $500 after 15 years; $500 after 20 years. That longevity money is not part of the grid.
The same agreement carries a separate Freehold Boro Teacher Assistants guide (ND/BA/MA lanes) on pages 44-46; it is not reproduced here.
