BALTIMORE COUNTY — Teachers in Baltimore County rallied for fair contracts at the Baltimore County School Board meeting on Monday.
They're part of the Teachers Association of Baltimore County (TABCO) and the union represents over 9,000 certified educators in the county.
They're fighting for a fair contract that improves their ability to "recruit and retain great educators."
“As it stands, BCPS is incredibly reluctant to move forward on economic and non-economic proposals that would improve workload, including pay for coverage and after-school duties,” said Cindy Sexton, TABCO President. “They are also refusing any of our demands around our SISPs. This is so concerning because many of our proposals come at no additional cost.
We reached out to Baltimore County Public Schools for comment and here's what they said:
BCPS continues to be committed to successfully completing negotiations to establish new collective bargaining agreements with its employee associations. Our system has more than 20,000 employees who are working hard to moving this system forward, and we want to ensure the new agreements recognize this commitment and the impact staff have on our more than 110,000 students.
