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 Point 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.
This is Year 3 of the 2021-2024 agreement, the newest teachers' guide the district has on file at PERC.
The MA+10 column is marked with an asterisk: the agreement says columns marked with an asterisk are no longer available but remain for those grandfathered in previous agreements. It is shaded out and empty on steps 1 to 10 and carries a figure only on step 11. The Year 1 guide also carries a BA+20 column on the same footing; it is gone from Year 2 and Year 3.
The Year 3 guide runs on the same page as the tail of the Year 2 guide; only the Year 3 table is published here.
- Soft spot: Three cells in the last two rows are too wide for their column and wrap onto a second line in the scan, so the text read of the page returned only the first five digits of each. The figures published are the ones printed on the page: 102,029 at step 11 in MA+15, 103,524 at step 10 in PhD and 109,190 at step 11 in PhD. The 'text read' figures recorded below are those truncated fragments.
- Soft spot: Step 11 in the MA+15 column reads 102,029 on the page; the text read of it returned 10,202. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
- Soft spot: Step 10 in the PhD column reads 103,524 on the page; the text read of it returned 10,352. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
- Soft spot: Step 11 in the PhD column reads 109,190 on the page; the text read of it returned 10,919. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
