Medford School Department, teachers agree on new contract, 2016-17 year to begin end of August
So much for summer!
The Medford Teachers Association finalized terms of a new three-year contract with Medford Public Schools last month that will provide teachers with annual salary increases of 2 percent.
Next school year, teachers will report Monday, Aug. 29, with classes beginning Tuesday, Aug. 30.
“By
starting before Labor Day, it builds in extra calendar days to offset
the loss of time from snow day cancellations and will ensure an earlier
completion of the school year in June,” Superintendent of Schools Roy
Belson said in a press release.
