JCTA members to vote this week on contract that includes 5% raise

Members of the Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA) will vote this week on a contract extension that would boost pay by 5%.

The union’s 5,800 members have until Friday evening to weigh in on the three-year extension. If a majority of voting members approve the agreement, the contract will go to the Jefferson County Board of Education for final consideration later this month.
