Local educators are set to see significant gains in their compensation and working conditions, according to a tentative contract agreement between the Ithaca City School District (ICSD) and its teachers' union. The proposed deal includes substantial salary increases, with teachers potentially seeing jumps of up to 10% over the next two years. Additionally, the contract would also expand classroom time for students, with more opportunities for hands-on learning and extracurricular activities. The agreement marks a major victory for the ICSD Teachers' Association, which has been advocating for improved working conditions and better support for students.
