07/09/2026 CCEA Negotiations

This meeting of the CitrusSchools CCEA Negotiations on July 9, 2026, focused primarily on the Teacher Salary Increase Allocation (TSIA) as mandated by Florida state statute. The discussion centered on compliance with the TSIA funding requirements, including eligibility criteria for full-time classroom teachers with at least 10 years of Florida public school teaching experience, and the allocation of approximately $1,909,973 in state funds. The group reviewed detailed statutory definitions, eligibility rosters, and negotiated tiered salary increases ranging from $1,394 to $2,895 based on years of experience, ensuring the total allocation and associated benefits costs were accurately calculated and fully expended. They also addressed procedural timelines for bargaining, board approval, and ratification, agreeing to finalize a tentative agreement (TA) for TSIA by mid-July and to continue negotiations on other compensation matters later in the summer. The meeting emphasized adherence to statutory deadlines and transparency in documentation for board and state reporting purposes.
