09/30/2026 CCEA Negotiations

CitrusSchools labor negotiations with the CCEA, September 30, 2026: The parties reviewed the remaining bargaining funds after correcting a calculation error, which increased the available amount to approximately $166,974. They reached agreement on a 2% increase for returning support employees, a 1.5% increase at the top of the scale, and a $30 monthly board match. The discussion also covered raising the under-10-year amounts from $450/$850 to $550/$1,050 and structuring TSIA payments as recurring annual salary additions based on experience, not increased for employees working more than 196 days. The revised support and benefit calculations were still about $2,741 over the discussed amount, and the transcript does not clarify how that gap was resolved.

The parties said they were in agreement and would proceed to draft a tentative agreement. The anticipated employee notification period was October 5–16, with voting planned for October 19; the board meeting on October 13 was considered too soon for approval, and the October 27 board workshop was discussed as a possible later step. No procurement activity was identified.
