The city’s powerful principals union has landed a lucrative new contract that is expected to boost members’ salaries over the next five years by nearly 17%.
Mayor Adams announced the tentative agreement with the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators, which represents 6,400 principals, assistant principals, supervisors and educational administrators, while speaking at the union’s annual leadership conference Saturday at the Hilton Midtown in New York.
The package, which is retroactive to January 29 and will run through March 29, 2028, includes annual increases ranging from 3% to 3.5% and totaling 16.77% when combined across of the duration of the agreement.
It also offers other incentives, including $3,000 ratification bonuses to all members.
The city has already budgeted $500 million to cover the deal through mid-2027, officials said.
It is not immediately clear what the total cost will be to cover the entire contract.
“This administration will always support workers,” Adams said.

“I know how hard our educators work on behalf of all New Yorkers and we will make sure our union members get the wages, rights and respect they deserve.”

The agreement must still be ratified by CSA members.
