M-SCEA URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT - Great Effort and Achievement from PECCA

The Memphis-Shelby County Education Association proudly announce the signing of the 2023-2027 Memorandum of Understanding.

The association is grateful for the work and professional effort shown by the PECCA Committee. This tremendously improved the teacher salary schedule for all teachers in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools District. This salary schedule returns all educators in the district to our original, and long-standing practice of equitability for all educators. This salary schedule provides equity for all teachers and accrued salary increases from the Governor.

Again, this salary schedule restores columns, and lanes, and eliminates TEACHER BONUS which are not sustainable. This is clearly a win-win situation for all teachers in the district. We are proud of this great accomplishment to return our teachers to a standard, professional and uncapped salary schedule.
