CEA Negotiation Teams Bargaining Platform

The members of the Cambridge Education Association are hopeful to work cooperatively with Mayor Siddiqui and Members of the School Committee in negotiating a fair and just contract for all of our units in the upcoming successor negotiations. We believe the priorities outlined below will enable us all to best meet the needs of Cambridges’s students and their families

Students, families, and education professionals in the Cambridge Public Schools will thrive when:

• CPS prioritizes the wellbeing of students and all education professionals by providing

  • Safe workplaces that are adequately staffed

  • Sustainable workloads 

  • Appropriate mental health supports

  • Inclusive working and learning environments that meet student needs

  • Time and resources for engagement between families and education professionals

• CPS supports the long term success of all education professionals by providing

  • Effective evaluation and 360 performance reviews for every CPS employee

  • Meaningful and differentiated professional learning opportunities for all

  • Pathways for advancement in all positions

  • A workplace climate that prioritizes the retention of all qualified education professionals

• CPS values all education professionals by providing

  • A respectful working environment for all education professionals

  • A living wage for all education professionals

  • Top tier benefits (like health insurance, family leave, and compensation) so all education professionals can live fulfilling lives with family and friends in the community where they work

This is Cambridge, we can do this; we must; with and for our students, families, and all education professionals.

Now is the time– because Cambridge students, families, and educational professionals deserve the very best. We can win the schools we all deserve, together!
