INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) Board of School Commissioners unanimously approved the largest teacher pay increase in the district’s history with the ratification of the latest Indianapolis Education Association (IEA) bargaining agreement. The Board also approved the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) contract.
Together, these two-year agreements not only include increased compensation for district teachers, but also service workers, such as custodians, and food service and transportation employees.
The overall estimated investment for teachers, certified staff and service workers between both contracts is $31 million. In addition to increasing pay, IPS will continue to be efficient in managing operating expenses to sustain pay increases long term.
