Teachers Approve New ISD 622 Contract

The school boad will vote on the long awaited contract at their next meeting.

Last week, teachers from School District 622 voted on a new teacher contract. After counting votes, North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale Education Association President Rory Sanders was happy to report that the contract passed.

On June 26, school board members from the district will review the contract and approve or reject it.

“I’m confident that the school board will approve the contract,” Sanders said. “I think teachers are pleased. We wish it could have been approved a lot sooner, but to have this wrapped up before summer starts is a good thing.”

District 622 teachers have been without a contract, and without a pay raise, for a year.  Members from the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale teachers union have been angrily present at recent ISD 622 school board meetings, hosting lot outside the District Education Center.

Though the new contact can’t be made public until the school board approves it, the Pioneer Press reported that teachers would receive a 1.5 percent raise if it passes.
