Executive Summary
The Director of Human Resources, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests Board approval to ratify the changes to the contract between Hernando Classroom Teachers Association (HCTA) and Hernando School District. Attached are the TAs and MOUs agreed to during the last bargaining cycle.
Florida Statute 1012.22 requires that instructional employees receive a salary increase based on their evaluation rating. A tentative agreement was reached with HCTA regarding performance pay. The performance agreement includes Highly Effective ratings receiving a $100 increase and Effective ratings receiving a $50.00 increase.
All returning instructional staff, who worked 1 day more than ½ of their contract in the 23-24 school year and were re-appointed to an instructional contract in the 24-25 school year, will receive an increase based on their years of Hernando Schools instructional service as outlined in the HCSD Retention Matrix attached to TA#6.
The salary increases will be an annualized increase based on the employee’s contract start date. To be eligible for the increase, the employee must be employed in this classification as of the Board approved date.
TA#4 represents an agreement that was reached with HCTA regarding an increase to the Board’s contribution towards employee health insurance premiums.
Board Action Requested: Ratify the Changes to the Contract, Tas, and MOUs between Hernando Classroom Teachers Association (HCTA) and the Hernando School District, and approve the salary increase.

Financial Impact
The cost for this agenda item is $1,579,809.00 from the Teacher Salary Increase Allocation and $4,422,134.65 from General Fund/Special Revenue. See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
