DEFINING CONTRACT COMPARABILITY

It is critically important that each NJASA member contact the NJASA Legal Department to speak with an attorney as you begin to consider any new contract proposal. This consultation is critical to achieving a contract which complies with law and regulation and ensures that your individual situation is carefully addressed.

NJASA has developed this document to assist members in considering factors that can define “contract comparability” and serve as a basis for discussion with counsel prior to submitting a contract proposal for school board approval and subsequent review by the Executive County Superintendent.
