Pasco Noninstructional School Employee Union Agrees to Raise Package

On Thursday, representatives from the Pasco County school district and the union for noninstructional staff reached a significant agreement regarding employee compensation. This agreement follows a similar raise package that was negotiated for teachers just one day earlier. The new contract stipulates a 1. 25% increase in base salaries for all noninstructional staff members. Additionally, employees who have completed a full year of employment during the last school year are eligible for a further 2.

25% pay increase. The deal also includes a 1. 9% increase in the amount workers receive from local-option property tax referendum revenue. Before it becomes official, the agreement requires ratification by both the employees it affects and the Pasco County school board. The negotiation signifies a step forward in recognizing and compensating the essential roles noninstructional staff play in the education system.

This contract agreement marks progress in the ongoing efforts to enhance working conditions and pay for school support staff in Pasco County.
