Beyond the gains in employment terms, the agreement safeguards the essential qualities that have made MSM Precollege one of the top preparatory music programs in the country, ensuring continued excellence for students today and in the years ahead.
The newly ratified contract delivers historic improvements to wages and working conditions, including a 70% increase in the minimum hourly pay rate over five years, and protections against harmful class size increases.
This five-year deal covers all Precollege faculty and runs retroactively from September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2029. Despite a costly, months-long campaign by the administration to undermine the faculty union, the teachers of MSM Precollege stood unitedβand won.
