How do CommPACT Schools coexist with collective bargaining agreements?
Teachers working in CommPACT Schools are covered under collective bargaining agreements, particularly those that 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 been proven to increase efficiency and, most importantly, to increase collaboration in schools by better shaping the distribution of time.
