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: 07/01/2025 - 06/30/2029.
Bargained with Gloucester City 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.
This is the 2026-2027 guide, the second year of the 2025-2029 agreement. The agreement also prints guides for 2025-2026, 2027-2028 and 2028-2029.
Schedule A adds flat stipends on top of the guide: $750 each for Child Study Team, Guidance Counselors and Nurses, and $1,754 each for Department Leaders, the Avid District Leader and Grade Level Leaders.
