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 - 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Holmdel Tp 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 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 are frozen pairs or groups on the guide and are printed that way.
The agreement prints a longevity table under the guide ($500 at 15-19 years of Holmdel service rising to $3,000 at 40 or more); longevity is paid on top of the guide.
