Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $68,765 a year, $5,730.42 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
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 Hackettstown 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.
Steps 2-3 and 4-5 are frozen pairs and are printed that way on the guide.
The step column label 4-5 was returned by the text read as 'Ar5' and was corrected against the rendered page.
Teachers who are off-guide receive the same dollar increase for 2026-27, 2,120.
Longevity is paid above the guide and is not part of the table: 100 at 18-20 years in education, 200 at 21-25, 300 at 26-30, 400 at 31-35, 500 at 36-40 and 600 at 41 or more; for employees hired on or after July 1, 2016 longevity accrues only on years worked in the Hackettstown district.
The agreement runs 2023-2028 and prints a 2027-28 guide as well; the 2026-27 guide published here is the one in force for the current school year.
- Soft spot: Step 7 in the MA column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 82,495, and that is the figure published.
