Contract ratified; New provisions in effect now
A new contract that gives all JPPSS teachers a raise and that improves, clarifies, and codifies working conditions is now in effect after being approved by teachers on October 6 and by the School Board the next day.
The three-year agreement includes an $800 salary increase over the first two years, with the possibility of another raise in the third year. The guaranteed raise is $300 added to the salary schedule this school year and payable in one installment on November 20, and an additional $500 added to the salary schedule in 2010-2011.
Among the other highlights is language covering the following areas:
- Planning time and mandatory meetings
- Equipment and teaching materials
- Inclusion and mainstreaming
- Student discipline
- Student grades
- Parent conferences
- and many more
JFT urges all teachers to become familiar with the new provisions. Meetings are scheduled for mid-October to provide an in depth explanation of the new provisions to JFT Building Reps.
