A recent vote in the Manitoba's Teacher Association has ratified some very positive changes.
Teachers in the 37 anglophone divisions in the province will be receiving a 12.25% wage increase over a 4 year period.
this will act retroactively from July 1st of 2022 to 2026, and will bring a few other changes as well.
Accompanying this change, teachers will see more prep time, paid leave for inclement weather days, and a new salary schedule for the 2026-2027 year.
The Manitoba School Boards Association said this has been a process that started two years ago, and will help improve the day to day experiences of teachers.
Nathan Martindale, the president of the society stated in a news release that "This agreement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teachers".
