Volusia County Schools and Volusia United Educators Instructional have settled their contract.
Highlights of the agreement include:
“We are very proud of the work that was done to reach this agreement,” VUE President Elizabeth Albert said. “Both teams showed their commitment to creating a collaborative process that resulted in improvements for our instructional staff.”
The next step in the process is to ratify the agreement. The tentative ratification date will occur during the week of Sept. 16. After ratification, the agreement will be presented to the Volusia County School Board for approval on Sept. 24. At that time, information regarding payment will be distributed.
“We are proud to have finalized an agreement with VUE Instructional that reaffirms our support for our teachers — the backbone of our district and the key to our students’ success,” Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin said. “This contract encompasses an impressive salary package, helps address salary compression and again underscores our commitment to employee wellness with an enhanced health insurance contribution. Our employees, School Board, partners, community members and VUE all deserve appreciation for their support.”
