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 - 06/30/2028.
Bargained with Woodland Park 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.
Page 32 of the agreement prints two guides, Year 3 (2025-26) above and Year 4 (2026-27) below; this is the lower one. The MA+30 and PhD/EdD columns sit to the right of the same table.
- Soft spot: Step 10 in the BA/BS column reads 81,885 on the page; the text read of it returned 1,885. The figure published is the one printed in the agreement.
