The CitrusSchools CCEA Negotiations meeting held on September 16, 2026, focused extensively on health insurance benefits, board-approved insurance rates, and salary negotiations for Citrus County Education Association (CEA) members. Key procurement-related discussions included detailed presentations on insurance plan options, premium changes, and the financial impact of self-insurance versus fully insured plans. The group reviewed the board match contributions, salary improvement allocations, and the Teacher Salary Increase Allocation (TSIA) eligibility and distribution. Budget constraints and fund balances were discussed, highlighting limited available funds for salary increases and the impact of starting salary adjustments on coaching supplements and the general fund. The meeting also addressed the administration of salary increases for employees on leave or returning mid-year, and the importance of wellness center utilization to reduce prescription costs. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this session, but the discussions set the stage for future negotiations on compensation and benefits. A follow-up meeting was scheduled for September 21, 2026.
