Corrected Compensation and Working Conditions Agreement between the District of Columbia Public Schools and the Washington Teachers’ Union, Local #6 of the American Federation of Teachers Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This bill declares an emergency to immediately approve a corrected version of a collective bargaining agreement between the District of Columbia Public Schools and the Washington Teachers' Union. The correction addresses a drafting error in the original 2023 agreement that accidentally omitted a previously agreed-upon $1,000 annual stipend for elementary school Grade Level Chairs. By passing this resolution, the Council ensures that these educators receive the intended financial benefit starting from the 2022-2023 school year. The measure also aims to maintain trust between the school district, the union, and their members by resolving the oversight quickly.
