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: 07/01/2022 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with Passaic EA MOA.
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 2024-25. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
The guide is printed sideways on the filed page; it was rendered upright to be read.
The BA+15 and MA+15 columns are blank for steps 1 through 7 on the printed guide; those cells are left empty here.
- Soft spot: Step 15 in the BA+15 column reads 100,955 on the page; the text read of it returned 400,955. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
