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 - 06/30/2026.
Bargained with Spotswood EA.
Read from the text layer of the PDF filed with PERC.
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.
The district prints one table per lane, each with a column for every year of the 2022-2026 agreement: BA on Appendix A.1, BA+15 on A.2, MA on A.3, MA+30 on A.4 and Doctorate on A.5 (pages 55 to 59 of the filed agreement). This grid is the 2025-26 column of each of those five tables, which is the last year the agreement covers.
Each table is printed to be read horizontally: a teacher's step number changes from year to year, and the step numbers here are the ones printed beside the 2025-26 column.
The 2025-26 column prints step 16 on its last four rows, which is how the guide tops out; step 16 is listed once here.
