Proposed Settlement for Teachers in Portland OR [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-11-26  

Students will return to the classrooms on Nov 27. The tentative agreement is subject to ratification by members of the teachersʼ union and approval by members of the school board. This is a good result after the strike.

Hereʼs the local news report.

The Portland Association of Teachers has been asking for wrap-around services, safe, well-maintained, and fully staffed schools, and resources Portland educators need. The gains are in wages and planning time.

CNN quoted the PAT

“critical contract language that protects students and educators from unsafe building conditions like extreme classroom temperatures.”

For me, an intriguing result was about class sizes: the contract terms include

overage pay for teachers for each student their class exceeds the class-size recommendations.
