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: 07/01/2023 - 06/30/2027.
Bargained with River Edge 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 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 Addendum A-4 of the agreement, Certified Staff Salary Guide 2026-2027 (Year 4 of the 2023-27 term).
Steps 1-2 and 3-5 are frozen pairs printed that way on the guide.
- Soft spot: The MA+15 figure at step 19, 97,502, breaks the $1,600 pattern the rest of that column follows. It is printed that way on the page.
