North Bergen prints one salary column, not degree lanes. Schedule A gives the base guide and a separate differential table adds a flat amount on top of it for each credential, unchanged across all three contract years: BA+15 $3,500, BA+30 $5,450, MA $7,950, MA+15 $9,350, MA+30 $11,800, MA+45 $13,300, MA+60 $14,800, EdD $16,500, in-field $4,900, guidance $600, special education $600.
The agreement notes that anyone above step 44 is paid on step 44, and that longevity steps 1 to 24 have been folded into this guide.
This is the third and last year of the 2022-2025 agreement with the North Bergen Federation of Teachers.
