Maryland’s second-largest school system reached a tentative agreement with its teachers union this week, after a roughly two-month impasse.
The Prince George’s County Educators’ Association — which represents about 10,000 educators — announced the agreement in a statement Wednesday. The union characterized the deal as making “strides on empowering educators to lead the district,” but there was little information shared about the agreement’s details. A spokeswoman for the union said further details will be released in September, when the contract is ratified.
“Securing the tools and resources we need to bolster our students’ success has been the primary focus for Prince George’s County educators,” Donna Christy, president of the union, said in a statement, “and this agreement lays the foundation to help us move our school communities from pandemic to promise and deliver a world-class education to all PGCPS students.”
