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: 07/01/2026 - 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Oakland EA.
Read from the text layer of the PDF filed with PERC.
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 A-1, headed "TEACHERS' SALARY GUIDES 2026-2027", is the first year of the 2026-2028 agreement.
Step 12-13 is printed as a single frozen step and is kept as the district prints it.
The file PERC serves is named for the Oakland administrators' association, but the agreement inside is between the Board of Education of the Borough of Oakland, Bergen County, and the Oakland Education Association.
- Soft spot: The step-1 label did not come through the text read of the page; the page prints 1.
