Feb. 19, 2010:NWLP 2/16/10 9:46 AM Page 7 Portland school teachers reach tentative contract Portland Public Schools (PPS) and its teachers union announced tentative agreement on a new con- tract Feb. 13, nine days after the dis- trict declared that bargaining had reached an impasse. Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) President Rebecca Levison said she couldn’t disclose details of the contract until the members have a chance to vote on it. But Levison said she was pleased with the set- tlement. The union bargaining com- mittee is recommending passage. “We’re hopeful that this means E E FR our members can now move for- ward,” Levison said. PAT's roughly 3,200 members have been working under an ex- pired contract since July 1, 2008. Contract talks broke down over work rules, health benefit contribu- tions, and wages. But the two sides continued to meet after making public their final offers Feb. 11, even as the 30-day cooling-off pe- riod began that might have ended with the district imposing its final offer or members going out on strike.
