With One Year Left, MCPS, MCEA Agree on Two-Year Contract

The Montgomery County Board of Education and the Montgomery County Education Association have agreed to a two-year contract, expiring June 30, 2022. The contract includes an increase in the minimum planning time guaranteed per week within the student day for elementary teachers; preference opportunities for special education; and updated language around professional development and co-teaching; supports for involuntary transfers; and increased “teacher time” during pre-service.

Staff can read the negotiated agreement with MCEA, as well as the agreements for Service Employees International Union (SIEU), Local 500 and the Montgomery County Association of Administrators and Principals (MCAAP). More information is on the Department of Labor Relations webpage.

What The Washington Post said about the Parents' Coalition

The coalition might be the best-known parent advocacy group in the region. Its members represent several constituencies, including parents of special education and gifted education students and fiscal watchdogs. The group's defining victory came this school year when the school system scaled back the fees charged to families for course materials.

Coalition leaders have drawn attention to the misuse of funds collected from students for activities, the broadcast of a commercial radio service on school buses and, with their "Weast Watch" blog, the travel habits of Weast and his lieutenants.

Jerry Weast on the Parents' Coalition

"Along the way, you’ve had a challenging relationship with the Parents’ Coalition, the network of citizen activists who use the political process and other means to hold MCPS accountable.

The thing people accuse me of is listening, but not hearing. I hear, but I do not always agree. I am sorry that the world is faster than it was 10 years ago. I did not do that. [But] if we do not keep up, then our kids will be behind. We have to stop whining and get real."
