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 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with W Orange 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 2024-25. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
Steps 1 to 4 are printed on the guide with a dash in every column: the district's teachers' guide starts at step 5.
The guide prints a longevity table below it, paid on top of the step: $5,612 at 15 to 19 paid years, $7,221 at 20 to 24, $8,840 at 25 to 29, $10,471 at 30 to 33 and $12,465 at 34 or more. Those amounts are not part of the grid.
- Soft spot: Step 9 in the DR column reads 89,581 on the page; the text read of it returned 89,584. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
- Soft spot: Step 8 in the BA+30 column reads 71,595 on the page; the text read of it returned 71,585. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
