The two sides had been at odds over teacher raises and agreed to bring in an outside mediator after negotiations between the teachers union and the district stalled because teachers said the raise that the district was offering wasn’t enough.
St. Johns County teachers plan to protest pay by only working 7.5 hours they’re paid for, nothing more– A mediator brought in to help settle a pay dispute between St. Johns County teachers and the school district has sided with teachers seeking a raise.
“The 2,600 teachers of the St. Johns School District are, on average, the most senior of any Florida school district and have produced some of the best student performance results in the state,” Luire wrote in his decision handed down May 4. “SJEA put forth the argument that our district can afford to pay teachers more, and our case has been validated by an objective third party. I know our school board members will do the right thing and accept the magistrate’s recommendation. Our teachers have earned it,” SJEA President Michelle Dillon told News4JAX.
To pay for the raises, the special magistrate said the district will have to dip into its unrestricted fund balance but the decision to do so “will not materially alter the District’s financial condition; not nearly as much as will the funding decisions made in Tallahassee.”
