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 - 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Ridgefield EA.
Read from PERC's own searchable copy of the agreement, where the guide is stored as a table rather than as an image.
The agreement labels this guide 2025-26. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
