Philadelphia Principals Union, School District Reach Tentative 4-Year Contract

The pact awaits a membership vote, with officials emphasizing stability to advance the Accelerate Philly plan.

Overview

  • Union leaders say the agreement includes across-the-board salary increases and language to address wage compression among administrators.
  • Full terms have not been released, and a ratification vote by CASA members has yet to be scheduled.
  • Roughly 1,000 members of CASA/Teamsters Local 502 had worked without a contract since August, when the previous deal expired.
  • The tentative deal followed public pressure from union members who criticized negotiations as one-sided at recent school board and City Council meetings.
  • Superintendent Tony B. Watlington Sr. described the pact as fiscally responsible and key to maintaining stable school leadership under the Accelerate Philly plan.
