The Newark Board of Education (NBOE), along with the Newark Teachers Union (NTU), has officially approved a new teacher salary guide. The starting salary for first-year teachers has been raised to $65,000. NBOE is dedicated to attracting highly qualified educators for students. The District recognizes that to reach new levels of success, it must not only attract top teachers, but also compete with neighboring school districts by offering competitive salaries. The District acknowledges the hard work teachers put in daily to provide the best education for students, and increasing salaries is one way to ensure retention of top talent.
