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 - 06/30/2026.
Bargained with Howell 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 2025-26. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
Schedule E. A longevity payment of $3,700 is printed below the guide and is not part of the grid.
- Soft spot: The second column heading was read as 'BAt15' and is printed BA+15 on the page.
