TRENTON — Average pay raises for teachers dropped this year to their lowest ever, the result of the poor economy, a 2 percent cap on property tax increases and the lingering effects of last year’s record cuts in school aid, according to the New Jersey School Boards Association.
In a preliminary analysis of 2011-12 teacher contracts, the association found the average teacher will receive a 3.19 percent raise this year, compared to 3.47 percent last year.
