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 the Lower Cape May Regional Education Association. The PERC index labels the unit "Lower Alloways Creek EA", which does not match the agreement on file; the agreement names the Lower Cape May Regional Education Association.
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.
The 2021-2026 agreement is on file at PERC as a scan; 2025-26 is the newest guide it prints.
The guide runs on one page in two blocks, steps 1-16 and steps 17-30.
- Soft spot: The scan of this page is faint and the text read dropped or mangled 60 of the 210 cells, including all of step 1, step 11, step 13, step 21, step 23 and part of steps 3-8, 10, 22, 24-27 and 29. Every figure published here was read off the page as rendered.
- Soft spot: Step 22 in the BA +30 column reads 110,008 on the page; the text read returned 140,008. Step 29 reads 114,378 and 115,378 in the first two columns; the text read returned 144,378 and 125,378. The figures published are the ones printed in the agreement.
