Now that the school board has made a decision on all items remaining at impasse, a ratification vote by all members of the bargaining unit will take place. CTA will be mailing ballots to your home once we have all the necessary information from the district.
A “Yes” vote means all of the below items (School Board resolutions and tentative agreements) will be a part of the collective bargaining agreement. Because of Florida law, a “No” vote means we would lose all of the terms that the parties did agree to (tentative agreements highlighted below) and neither the salary increases or bereavement leave would be retroactive, but the School Board resolutions would still take effect.
