Tentative Agreements for2026 Bargaining
- None yet, will update following 7/15/26 session
Your member-led bargaining committee met with management this week for our first bargaining session. This year’s bargaining sessions will be a re-opener only, not the full agreement. This means that only a few articles are opened” salaries, health benefits, general provisions, and departmental operations are included.
Management submitted a wage proposal which you can see on your Union’s website, where we will post all updates through this process.
In our session, management provided an update on the budget and financial picture of the District.
In addition, Management has proposed a 3.25% wage increase. Part of this increase is from the Referendum Pay, which Pinellas County voters approved in 2024, and was implemented last school year.
Last year contracted 8hr workers received $2,910 in referendum pay for the year. Management’s proposal is to increase that amount by $541 to $3,451. As you can see from management’s proposal this is roughly a 1.71% increase.
The remainder of the 3.25% increase is proposed to be in base wages, though no specific amounts were proposed to the wage table.
FAQs
When will I get my raise?
This is only a proposal from management, and we have not reached an agreement. We are set to meet with the District for our next bargaining session on July 15. At 330pm at the District Admin Building.
Will I see the Referendum Pay increase in my July paycheck?
No, any increase in Referendum Pay and Wages must be agreed upon and ratified by a vote of the workers and the School Board. Once that is done, all increases will be Retro back to July 1, 2026.
