New Jersey has no statewide teacher salary schedule and the state Department of Education publishes no collection of them.

Agreement term: 07/01/2022 - 06/30/2027.
Bargained with Tewksbury 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.
Appendix E, the last of five yearly guides in the July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2027 agreement.
Longevity is paid on top of the guide: an extra $750 for 15 to 20 years of service in the district, $1,500 for 21 through 24 years and $2,000 at 25 years. Sabbatical, maternity and other leaves do not count toward in-district service.
