The Cherry Hill Board of Education approved a four year contract for teachers and non-certified staff that are members of the Cherry Hill Education Association (CHEA). Non-certified staff members include secretaries and employees who work in facilities, support, and technology.
At the February 11th board meeting, the nine board members ratified and adopted the Memorandum of Agreement between the negotiating team and the CHEA, which represents close to 1,200 members.
The contract vote passed by an overwhelming unanimous vote by the Board of Education.
“I am beyond thrilled by the settlement agreement that has been reached with CHEA.” said Dr. Kwame Morton, Superintendent. “Kudos to the Board of Education, its negotiating team, and CHEA for their collaboration in reaching an agreement that solidifies Cherry Hill Public Schools as a premier district to work in.”
In addition to salary increases for all CHEA members, there is new contractual language to help promote staff wellness.
“The Board’s unanimous vote underscores our belief in the essential link between our most valuable resource, our teachers and staff, and the high quality education our students receive each day,” said Gina Winters, President of the Board of Education.
“This round of collective bargaining was the most productive and collaborative in decades,” said Steve Redfearn, President of CHEA. “This new agreement definitely sends a message to the staff that they are valued and appreciated by the Cherry Hill Board of Education. This contract placed emphasis on both recruitment and retention in the midst of a national and statewide teacher shortage.”
The agreement is effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029.
