11.10. 2026 PBA Bargaining Collective Bargaining Session #3

The School District of Palm Beach County and the PBA held Collective Bargaining Session #3 on November 10, 2026. Discussion focused on contract language for union representation and employee-organization time, seniority and school assignments, take-home vehicles, light-duty vehicle privileges, comp-time rollover, extended-time pay, work calendars, and compensation provisions. The parties discussed improving transparency in school placement and considering a trial option for employees to roll over some or all comp time; the district raised administrative concerns involving payroll and its PeopleSoft system. The parties also agreed to schedule a separate meeting about disputed career-ladder eligibility for lieutenants.

The district offered tentative agreements on Articles 18 (leave), 16 (take-home vehicles), and 33 (contract duration). The comp-time rollover option remained under consideration, with a membership survey and trial period discussed. No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or purchasing decisions were identified.
