The Martin County School District and Martin County Education Association have reached a tentative contractual agreement for the 2023-2024 school year.
Throughout the negotiations process, both bargaining teams participated in numerous hours of dedicated collaboration and passionate discussion.
In the coming weeks, MCEA bargaining unit-eligible members will vote to ratify the tentative agreement.
Then, once the agreement has been ratified by MCEA, the Martin County School Board can proceed with ratification during its scheduled Board meeting on May 21, 2024.
The tentatively agreed upon contract includes the following:

For example, a bargaining unit-eligible member with 10 years of verified experience shall receive an adjustment of $850.
