The agreement responds to teachers\u2019 concerns and strengthens supports for students through significant government investment.
\u201cI\u2019m very happy the bargaining teams were able to arrive at a tentative agreement that is fair to teachers and ensures improved classroom conditions for students and teachers,\u201d said Houston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No details on the agreement will be publicly released until ratification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
