2026 July 29th CCEA Bargaining

This meeting was a bargaining session held by Clay County District Schools on July 29, 2026, focusing primarily on employment practices, teacher evaluations, and compensation packages. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a compensation package totaling approximately $3.17 million, funded through a current millage renewal expected to be voted on in November. The package proposed targeted salary supplements, especially for teachers with 0 to 10 years of experience, and included adjustments to insurance premiums and benefits. The board emphasized the importance of timely bargaining on premium increases to avoid reimbursement complexities. Additionally, the meeting addressed insurance fund challenges, prescription drug coverage, and strategies to manage rising healthcare costs. The parties agreed to package deal terms linking compensation, insurance, and millage funding, with plans to finalize and present the ratification package at the upcoming board meeting. Documentation and support requirements for teacher reappointment decisions were also discussed and incorporated into employment practice language.
