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 - 06/30/2026.
Bargained with Monroe 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.
The teacher guide prints one salary column per contract year rather than degree columns. Published here is the 2025-2026 column, the last year of the 2023-2026 agreement, with the step labels the guide prints beside that year.
Degree differentials are paid on top of the guide amount and are flat for the whole 2023-2026 term: BA+15 $1,800, MA $3,600, MA+30 $4,500, Doctorate $6,000.
Longevity is paid above the guide amount: $500 at 10 or more consecutive years, $2,000 at 15 or more, $4,000 at 20 or more.
The guide's own step labels are printed verbatim, including the frozen pair 2-3. Four separate 2022-2023 steps all land on step 11 in 2025-2026 at 98,247; step 11 is listed once here.
- Soft spot: The table has no degree column heading. The single printed column is the base guide, and the agreement's column differentials are added to it.
- Soft spot: Step 2-3 in the Base column reads 54,397 on the page; the text read of it returned 34,397. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
