As per the PFT constitution, members present at the meeting voted on the agreement, and the results were as follows:
- 2096 YES (84%)
- 399 NO (16%)
On the approval of the one-year extension, PFT President Jerry T. Jordan said,
I am so pleased that our members voted so decisively in favor of ratifying the one-year extension to our collective bargaining agreement.
Every day, our members pour their hearts into the vital work of educating our young people and helping them thrive. Their work must be recognized with fair compensation.
This agreement is a down-payment on the future.
It’s the start of finally ensuring that public education in our great city and commonwealth is fully funded and well-resourced.
