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: 07/01/2020 - 06/30/2023.
Bargained with W Long Branch 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 2022-23. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
The guide's steps are lettered C to M. Below them the page prints two Off Guide lines carrying a single BA figure each, 83,945 marked '1 member' and 103,831 marked '0 member'; they are individual placements rather than steps of the grid and are not published in it.
2022-23 is the last year of the filed agreement, which ran to 30 June 2023.
- Soft spot: At step D the MA column is printed 58,770, which is 2,315 above BA+30 where most steps in the guide are 1,500 above it. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
