CEO Eric S. Gordon and CTU President David Quolke announce that the Cleveland Teachers Union and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District have reached a Tentative Agreement.
Representatives of both sides of the bargaining talks say the agreement will help transform Cleveland’s schools and will build on a culture of collaboration that began last year when CTU and CMSD worked together toward passage of the Cleveland Plan.
“This ground-breaking agreement paves the way for shared ownership in building a high-quality education system,” said Quolke. “The new agreement also rewards and recognizes the hard work teachers do by aligning teacher compensation with components and practices needed to improve teaching and learning.”
The tentative agreement, came after months of contract talks using Interest Based Bargaining and the assistance of Fact Finder, Mollie Bowers in moving toward what both Quolke and Gordon say was a mutual agreement to reach a negotiated settlement prior to the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
