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: 07/01/2024 - 06/30/2027.

Bargained with N Caldwell 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.

Schedule B, the July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027 guide, the last of the three annual guides in the 2024-2027 North Caldwell EA teachers' agreement.

The agreement closes the BA+10, BA+20, MA+10, MA+20, MA+40 and MA+50 columns to new movement: since July 1, 2012 column movement is at 15-credit intervals (BA, BA+15, BA+30, MA, MA+15, MA+30, MA+45), and staff already on the closed columns may remain on them.
