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: 07/01/2022 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with Lawnside 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 2024-25. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
Schedule A-3, Year 3 of a 2022-2025 agreement and the last guide it prints.
The final row is labelled Off Guide and prints no BA figure; that cell is blank on the page.
The figures are full-time salaries; part-time teachers are prorated.
Longevity is paid on top of the guide: $1,000 after 25 years of service to the Lawnside school system and $1,500 after 30, beginning the September 1 after the anniversary.
