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: 07/01/2021 - 06/30/2024.
Bargained with High Bridge 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.
Appendix C, headed "YEAR 3 / 2023-24 High Bridge", is the last year of the 2021-2024 agreement, which is the newest agreement the district has on file with PERC.
L1 and L2 are longevity rows printed on the guide itself: a teacher entering a 20th year in the district moves to L-1 and one entering a 25th year moves to L-2.
Step 12-13 is printed as a single frozen step and is kept as the district prints it.
- Soft spot: Step 10 in the BA column reads 73,155 on the page; the text read of it returned 13,155. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
