The Palm Beach County School District and the Palm Beach County Teachers Association (CTA) reached tentative agreement regarding 2006 Amendment to the 2005-2008 Collective Bargaining Agreement. CTA ratified the tentative agreement on December 8, 2006.  I recommend that the School Board approve the tentative agreement between the School District and CTA.

Description:

The tentative agreement provides for:

Ø      Modifying contract language regarding Personnel Files to comply with Florida Statutes as it pertains to the removal of materials from the Personnel File;

 

Ø      Recognizing additional accrediting agencies for verifying teaching experience;

 

Ø     Recognizing Reading Endorsement as equivalent to six (6) graduate semester hours for purposes of satisfying the twelve (12) graduate semester hour requirement for Advanced Degree Pay;

 

Ø     Granting year-for-year experience credit for teachers hired prior to January 7, 2003; effective January 8, 2007;

 

Ø     Establishing contract provisions regarding Charter School Leave and the terms and conditions of employment related to an employee’s return from Charter School Leave; and

 

Ø      Affirming the right of non-classroom teachers (Guidance Counselor, Media Specialist, Occupational Specialist, etc.) to daily planning time.
