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: 07/01/2023 - 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Mantua 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.
The guide is the second of the two tables on this page of the agreement, headed Teachers and 2026-2027. The 2025-2026 guide is printed above it and a 2027-2028 guide on the next page; the agreement runs to June 2028.
The table on the page after this one, headed 2023-24 with 12 Month and 10 Month columns, is a different unit and is not a teachers guide.
