The Mount Vernon Federation of Teachers voted to ratify a new contract for teachers, teaching assistants and security monitors.
It's a story News 12 has been following closely for years, between the negotiations and the push from teachers to get more money.
"This contract ratification will ensure important percentage raises for our unit members in these uncertain fiscal budget times,” said Keith McCall, president of the Mount Vernon Federation of Teachers.
McCall says there were compromises on both sides. He added that he hopes this new contract will help with recruiting and retaining teachers in the district.
“This is a tremendous win for the district and more importantly, a win for our children,” said Mount Vernon City School District Superintendent Dr. Demario Strickland.
