STATEMENT FROM MAYOR BLOOMBERG ON THE RATIFICATION OF THE TEACHERS CONTRACT

“I am pleased that the UFT has ratified a new contract; it is good for teachers, the City, and most importantly, our school children.  The new contract gives teachers a substantial raise and enables the Department of Education to implement changes to further efforts to reform and improve the entire school system.  I want to thank UFT President Randi Weingarten and her Committee for their efforts in reaching this historic agreement, and we look forward to working together and continuing the improvement of our public schools.”
