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: 07/01/2021 - 06/30/2024.
Bargained with N Valley EA.
Read from the text layer of the PDF filed with PERC.
The agreement labels this guide 2023-24. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
This is the 10 month teachers guide. The agreement also carries separate guides for office professionals, operations and maintenance staff, athletic trainers and COTAs.
Step 15 is printed only on Scales III through VI; the Scale I and Scale II cells on that step are blank on the page.
The page adds pay outside the grid: long service increments of $300 and $3,500 for the service conditions it lists, and a teacher holding a doctorate is paid $600 more than the same step on Scale VA (MA+45).
2023-24 is the last year of the filed agreement, whose term ran 07/01/2021 to 06/30/2024.
