That fight kicked off in earnest for the legislative session in Baltimore. The Baltimore Teachers Union and AFT-Maryland were on hand to fight for Maryland’s public school children.

MCEA has finalized contract negotiations with the University Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) and became effective January 1, 2020.

Ratification Meeting for Baltimore City Public School Employees will be held Wednesday, February 5, 2020, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the City Union of Baltimore Headquarters, 2117 N.
