Volusia County Schools and Volusia United Educators Support have reached an agreement in salary negotiations.
On Thursday, Oct. 26, the school district announced that the two groups had overcome impasse to settle on a contract that includes a 2.5% salary increase and an increase in longevity pay. VCS previously declared an impasse with VUE on Sept. 15 because VUE sought a 3% salary increase and compensation for both retention and longevity.
The district had initially proposed a 2% average salary increase and longevity compensation, beginning with employees who have worked for VCS for five years or longer.
“We are glad that the teams were able to overcome impasse and come to a resolution to reach an agreement for our deserving support staff,” VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said in a press release. “These employees are vital to the operations of our schools day in and day out, so we are pleased to come together to support them.”
The agreement will be ratified the week of Nov. 6 before it is presented to the Volusia County School Board for approval on Nov. 14.
