Board of Education Contract
District-run schools are governed by the contract negotiated between the Board of Education and the Chicago Teachers Union.
The CTU Communications Department is developing an e-contract. The current, beta version includes all articles, appendices, salary tables and side letters for members working in district-run schools. In addition, it includes a salary lookup to help members see their projected salaries throughout the life of the contract. We encourage members to give it a try and to email feedback to Nathan Goldbaum.
Charter Contracts
Every unionized educator at a charter school works under the contract negotiated with their particular employer. Download any charter contract below. To download older, expired versions of charter contracts, visit the Contract Archive page.
