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 - 06/30/2027.
Bargained with Lenape EA.
Read from the text layer of the PDF filed with PERC.
