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 Pompton Lakes EA.
The guide is printed inside the filed agreement as an image, so it was read off the page as rendered and every figure was then checked against that page.
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.
A footnote defines NBCT as National Board of Certified Teachers.
A separate longevity table below the guide pays a percentage of salary on Pompton Lakes experience: 1.0% up to $999 at 10 years, 9.0% up to $9,000 at 15 years and 10.0% up to $9,999 at 20 years. It is not part of the grid.
- Soft spot: The seventh column heading runs over three lines on the page and the text read returned only its middle line; it is printed MA+60/PhD/EdD/NBCT*.
