AGREEMENT - The Columbus Education Association

AGREEMENT

between

THE COLUMBUS BOARD

OF EDUCATION

and

THE COLUMBUS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

2019?2022

To be in effect until midnight of the day before the first regular teacher contract day of August,

2019?2022

Dear CEA Members:

This is your copy of the New Master Agreement between the Columbus Board of Education and the Columbus Education Association. Please read it and use it for your professional and personal benefit. This Agreement represents a huge, tangible step forward for members of CEA. The spirit, dedication and time donated to support the #ColumbusStudentsDeserve Campaign was unprecedented. Considerable gains were made in this Agreement to improve the working conditions of our members and the learning conditions of our students.

Many thanks to the officers, staff, representatives and team members who helped in the planning and organization of this bargaining campaign. However, special thanks and a deep sense of gratitude is owed to thousands of CEA Rank and File members who marched, picketed, rallied, and stood in solidarity with the bargaining team. That member support ultimately contributed to the success of this campaign.

No matter our gains, we cannot take our success for granted. We should not expect future negotiations to be easy. We know the right to collectively bargain will always be under attack. We must remain committed to defending and protecting the contractual rights gained for us from the forces who would like to see us fragmented and divided.

Finally, any good contract must be enforced to maintain its value. The Board and CEA have made the commitment to support this agreement. Every teacher and administrator is obligated to enforce this legally binding agreement.

In Solidarity
