MCSD/MCEA Collective Bargaining 26-27 School Year: Session 6

Session 6 of Martin County School District and Martin County Education Association collective bargaining was held September 29, 2026. The district presented a revised memorandum of understanding combining remote work days with a proposal for one fewer required report-card conference night, with the remaining conference night in the first semester. The parties discussed the proposed arrangement as a one-year approach, but no formal vote or final approval was reported. They also discussed open-house and conference time; no additional spending decision was identified.

The parties reviewed the timeline for continued negotiations on non-TSA compensation: the district expects to update its budget after the October count and proposed meeting in November. MCA presented a counterproposal on compensatory time, including notice and approval procedures, carryover, and making reasonable efforts to ensure employees can use earned time. The district said it would review historical compensatory-time data and related costs before responding; MCA planned to discuss the proposal with its bargaining team. No contract award, procurement, or spending motion was reported.
