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 - 06/30/2029.
Bargained with Gateway Reg 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 2026-27. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
The agreement runs from 2024-25 to 2028-29 and prints one guide per year as Appendices B-1 through B-5; the 2026-2027 guide published here is Appendix B-3.
The guide prints a second header row reading 800, 1600, 2400, 3200 and 4000 under the lane names. Those are the amounts each lane sits above BA, not salaries.
Step 12A is the district's own label for the step between 12 and 13.
