School District And Union Reach Tentative Contract Deal

Published: December 20, 2008

LAND O' LAKES - The moment was "kind of bittersweet" for Lynne Webb, president of United School Employees of Pasco.

The good news was that the Pasco County School District and the union finally reached a tentative contract agreement earlier this week after six months of negotiations.

But Webb said the result isn't something that's going to make her celebrate.

Under the proposed contracts, salaries for teachers and other school workers would be stuck at their 2007-08 levels. There would be no raises or step increases, although employees would be given a year of credit for their service.

The contracts - one for instructional employees and one for other school workers - still must be ratified by the employees and approved by the school board. That process won't happen until after the school district's winter break, which begins Monday.
