The Glencoe District 35 Board of Education and the local teachers union have come to terms on a new five-year collective bargaining agreement featuring salary increases each year.
“I was honored to be part of this process. It’s not an easy process on any end but the level of professionalism, creativity and thoughtfulness that everyone brought to the process was admirable,” District 35 School Board President Kelly Glauberman said at the meeting. “Negotiations are hard and I am just pleased that all in all it was a process of which I was very proud to be a part of.”
The GEA membership ratified the contract on April 4, according to a statement released after the school board meeting. “The GEA bargaining team worked collaboratively with the board of education to negotiate a contract that benefited all members and felt that a five year contract would enable GEA members to plan for the future,” Leeds wrote in an email.
