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 - 06/30/2026.

Bargained with Waterford Tp 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 2025-26. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.

The salary appendix is filed sideways: one page carries four guides, BASE YEAR 2022-23, YEAR 1 2023-24, YEAR 2 2024-25 and YEAR 3 2025-26. The 2025-26 guide published here is the last year of the 2023-2026 agreement.

Steps 11A and 12A are printed as separate steps between 11 and 12 and between 12 and 13, and are kept as the district prints them.

The same appendix carries a separate hourly table for permanent teacher substitutes, which is not part of this guide.

Soft spot: The page is filed rotated 90 degrees and every figure on it has a handwritten check mark struck through it, so the text read of the page is unreliable. The page was rotated upright, re-read, and then every figure was checked by eye against the page as rendered.
Soft spot: Where a correction below reports a text read of 0, the read returned nothing legible for that cell and the figure published is the one printed on the page.
Soft spot: Step 8 in the BA column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 65,725, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 6 in the BA+15 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 64,902, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 5 in the BA+30 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 65,177, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 10 in the BA+30 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 72,877, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 10 in the MA column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 74,152, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 7 in the MA+30 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 70,727, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 8 in the MA+30 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 71,827, and that is the figure published.
Soft spot: Step 11A in the MA+30 column came back empty from the text read of the page; it is printed there as 83,927, and that is the figure published.
