Bargaining teams for the School Board and SC/TA reached tentative agreement on these proposed changes to contract language and salary earlier this month. The memberships of the Association are in the process of ratifying the proposed agreements now.

The proposed salary schedules for 2011-2012 reflect no changes except for a few increases to hourly rates to comply with the Florida minimum hourly wage of $7.31.

The parties agree to re-open salary negotiations for the 2011-2012 school year should any of the following conditions be met:

1. This Agreement is subject to salary and benefit reopeners for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years.

2. Contract language can only be reopened for negotiation if mutually agreed to by the parties.
