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 - 06/30/2027.
Bargained with S River 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.
South River prints one salary column per contract year; the column published here is Year 5 (2026-2027), the last year of the 2022-2027 agreement.
The guide carries a single BA column. The agreement adds a single degree differential on top of the BA salary: MA 2,000, MA+30 2,800, Ph.D. 4,600.
Longevity is paid above the guide and is not part of the table: 1,800 at 15-18 years, 2,500 at 19-23, 3,200 at 24-29 and 3,700 at 30 or more.
The district's step labels are letters and the guide starts at step E; there are no steps A through D.
Schedule A covers registered nurses and certified nurses as well as teachers.
- Soft spot: Step R in the BA column reads 85,775 on the page; the text read of it returned 853,775. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
