80% of trained secondary teachers will have a base salary of more than $100 thousand from late next month. 

PPTA members have voted to accept a collective agreement offer from the Government. 

The settlement includes a 4.6% pay increase over two years, increased allowance for teachers with greater responsibilities, and a million dollar a year fund for professional development. 

Secondary school Deputy Principal Pip Tinning told Ryan Bridge she felt this was as good as it was going to get. 

She says they’ve got a lot of stuff coming up, and it feels like time to just move on.
