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 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with Sparta 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 2024-25. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
2024-2025 Sparta Salary Guide, the last of the four annual guides in the 2021-2025 Sparta EA agreement (the 2023-2024 guide is printed above it on the same page).
