New York City has struck a tentative $6.4 billion five-year contract deal with the teachers union that includes more than 15% in pay hikes over five years and expands remote learning programs that began during the coronavirus pandemic.
The contract, covering some 120,000 teachers and other school workers, also calls for a $3,000 ratification bonus for each member and establishes an annual cash payment – set to reach $1,000 by 2026 – to help in recruitment and retention.
While the previous contract expired in the fall, the negotiations were smooth compared with talks in some other major cities. New York's contract expands voluntary virtual learning, which will offer flexible class scheduling including weekends and evenings and will eventually be available to all high school students and some middle school students.
