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 Ocean City 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.
The guide is staggered: each lane starts one step higher than the lane to its left, so the top of the BA lane is step 13 and only the MA+60 lane reaches step 16. Cells the agreement leaves blank are blank here.
Longevity is paid on top of the guide and is not part of it: $2,000 at 14-16 years, $3,000 at 17-19, $4,500 at 20-22, $5,500 at 23-25 (frozen 2013-14) and $8,000 at 26 years and over (frozen 2013-14).
- Soft spot: Step 1 in the BA column reads 54,318 on the page; the text read of it returned 4,318. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
