Part Two, Certified Staff, of the 2024-2028 Woodbridge Township Board of Education and WTEA agreement, which prints one column per contract year; this is the 2026-27 column.
Woodbridge does not run education lanes. Advanced degrees are paid as flat differentials on top of the step: $7,000 for a Master's and $13,000 for a Doctorate, plus grandfathered $1,500 for BA+16 and $2,500 for BA+32 held as of 21 October 2021. Those amounts are not added into the cells here.
Further differentials sit on top of the same guide: 15 percent for the lead nurse and child study team, 10 percent for athletic trainers, 6.5 percent for school counselors and mainstream facilitators, 5 percent for speech and language specialists and 1 percent for school nurses.
Maximum step payments run outside the guide from $500 on entering the 18th year up to $7,500 on entering the 26th year, and count as base salary.
The guide is printed top step first; it is published here in ascending step order.
Verified by a different kind of check than the one that produced the numbers: the cells were parsed from the document's text layer, then the page was rendered as an image and read back, and all four year columns matched.
Transportation, secretarial, paraprofessional, behavior technician, school aide and technical guides in the same agreement are excluded.
- Soft spot: Taken from the union local's copy of the executed agreement; the district's own site publishes 2,252 documents but no teachers' contract.
