3-year contract agreement now goes to school board for final approval
Members of 4J’s teachers’ association have voted to ratify a tentative agreement for a new 3-year contract. The agreement must be approved by a vote of the Eugene School Board before it becomes final.
“This is a sensible and fair bargain that sets the stage for long-term success,” said school board chair Jim Torrey. “It restores school days and reinvests needed resources in the classroom, while providing modest salary increases to staff who have had years of stagnant wages. Settling a 3-year contract will allow us to make smart and strategic decisions for the long term, and focus on education rather than on new contract negotiations every year.”
