Union representative thanks Brockton School Committee for contract ratification
Summary
A representative from the IBAA TEA used public comment to thank committee members, district negotiators and staff for reaching a new contract, praising months of discussion and recognizing HR staff and bargaining-unit members for their efforts.
Joe Campbell, speaking on behalf of the IBAA TEA during the hearing of visitors, thanked the Brockton School Committee, superintendent and bargaining unit members for what he described as months of “thoughtful discussion, compromise, and good faith efforts” that culminated in a ratified contract.
"On behalf of the IBAA TEA ... I wanna sincerely thank you for your time, your collaboration, and your vote to ratify our new contract," Campbell said, and he singled out district staff for assistance, including BPS executive assistant of human resources Matt Beals and assistant superintendent of human resources Dr. Katharine Moran.
Campbell described the contract as a "foundation for stability, for collaboration, and for focusing on energy where it belongs, supporting students and strengthening our schools." He also recognized the contributions of the bargaining unit membership and said the agreement reflects respect for their daily work in classrooms and school operations.
The committee did not take additional action on the comment at the meeting; the remark concluded the hearing of visitors before the meeting moved into organizational business.
