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 N Wildwood 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.
Schedule C of the agreement, headed 2025-2026 TEACHER SALARY GUIDE. It is the last of the three yearly teacher guides in the agreement, which ran to June 2026.
Below step 13 the guide carries one unlabelled row holding three figures and no step number: 76,460 and 92,155 in the MA column and 85,825 in the MA+15 column. It is not a step and is not part of the grid above.
The agreement prints a Teacher Longevity Scale under the guide: a teacher with more than 13 years of experience in the district has 2,390 dollars added on guide and 860 dollars of longevity on top of the previous years salary and longevity, and a teacher who has reached step 13 without longevity gets the average step raise for the year. That is on top of the grid, not part of it.
Schedules D, E and F of the same agreement are the custodial, secretarial and aides guides and are not teacher pay.
