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: 07/01/2026 - 06/30/2031.
Bargained with Woodbury 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.
The guide is the first year of the 2026-2031 agreement; guides for 2027-28 through 2030-31 follow it in the same exhibit.
Teachers with 24 credited years of service receive an additional $1,600 on top of the guide.
