August 24, 2026 - AAPS Teacher Negotiations Update

Dear Ann Arbor Public Schools Community,

 

Today, the Ann Arbor Public Schools and the Ann Arbor Education Association reached a tentative contract agreement.  Although we are not able to comment on specifics until the agreement is ratified by the AAEA membership and approved by the Board of Education, we wanted to let our community know that this important step has been taken.

 

Reaching this moment took hard work, good faith, and shared commitments. As we prepare to welcome students back next week, we are grateful to both negotiating teams for remaining engaged in the process and invested in coming to an agreement. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Jazz Parks

AAPS Superintendent
