Modesto City Schools officials and the Modesto Teachers Association reached a tentative agreement on a new contract after more than a year of negotiations.
The new contract gives teachers a 7.25% raise in salary. In addition, starting in January 2025, teachers will receive an extra $150 a month for health insurance.
Members of the Modesto Teachers Association ratified the 2023-25 Tentative Agreement on Friday, May 17 with 82.4% in favor. The contract is also retroactive to the beginning of the just-completed school year.
“Members of the Modesto Teachers Association strongly recommend that Modesto City School Board trustees ratify the 2023-25 tentative agreement,” said Modesto Teacher Association President Chris Peterson.
