Anderson Community School Corporation recently issued the following announcement.
The new contract would provide teachers with a base salary increase and a series of stipends over the next two years
ANDERSON - Anderson Community Schools (ACS) and the Anderson Federation of Teachers (AFT) reached a tentative agreement today on a new collective bargaining agreement. The new contract would provide teachers with a base salary increase and a series of stipends over the next two years.
“The success of our school corporation depends on our ability to recruit and retain the best educators for our students,” said Randy Harrison, President of the AFT and Dr. Joe Cronk, Superintendent for ACS in a joint statement. “This new collective bargaining agreement demonstrates our shared commitment in doing so. We are pleased that we can now move forward with a renewed focus and enthusiasm around advancing our school corporation.”
Since the agreement must first be ratified by the AFT membership, and then approved by the ACS Board of Trustees, terms of the agreement are not yet available.
In addition to teachers, other ACS certified and non-certified staff members represented by the AFT will also receive a pay increase and stipends under the tentative agreement.
