How are CommPACT Schools compatible with collective bargaining agreements?
Teachers working in CommPACT Schools are covered under collective bargaining agreements, particularly as such agreements pertain to salary. However, teachers in a CommPACT School may agree to alter parts of their collective bargaining agreement relating to hours or other requirements affecting day-to-day working conditions if they believe it will improve student learning. Such flexibility has proven to increase efficiency and most importantly, collaboration in schools by better utilizing the distribution of time.
