2021 Contract Negotiations

Following an extensive community input process that included conversations and forums with thousands of families, educators, and community members over several months, the Boston Teachers Union released a package of proposals and priorities related to the next labor agreement that will be signed between the members of the Boston Teachers Union and the Boston Public Schools.

We have reached a tentative agreement (TA) with the BPS School Committee and the City of Boston on our multi-year contract. On September 14, the members of the BTU voted to ratify this agreement. We have outlined the toplines of the agreement in this plain language summary, with information on the wins we secured for special education, staff training, the wage increase, and more.
