A brief PowerPoint presentation was presented by St. Johns County School District to bring everyone up to date of what was presented at the previous session. Millage Presentation
- District proposal –
- 0-5 years $5000.00
- 6-15 years $6000.00
- 16+ years $7,000
- A spreadsheet was given to SJEA to manipulate factors and base starting amounts.
- Goals: To get the District and SJEA to agree on factors and base with our current projections of number of teachers and projected tax rolls-with the understanding we will have to reconvene in May/June to review number of teachers, the base and total tax revenue.
SJEA presented a counter proposal MOU Referendum SJEA Counter (002)
- We kept most of the original language.
- Changes to supplement calculations
- 0-5 years – $4,500.00 factor – 1.0
- 6-10 years – $5,400.00 factor – 1.20
- 11-15 years – $6,300.00 – factor – 1.40
- 16-20 years – $7,200 – factor – 1.60
- 21+ years – $8,100.00 – factor – 1.80
- Should the revenue exceed the initial estimates, the difference will be distributed to eligible employees will be paid in the final paycheck in June.
SJCSD – presented the spreadsheet which combined the 0-5 and 6-10 to 0-9 years with the same factors, difference 0-9 years will start at $5000.00. The 21+ will start at $8,000.00 instead of $8,100.00. We do agree with everyone about the veteran teacher and compensating them. We tried to get where you wanted to be, but there will be a squeeze to get there. We have to protect all teachers.
Our goal tonight is to get the factors captured and then come back to the table for the language. We need to research what other surrounding counties did with the remaining money at the end of the school year and what was your process on getting the remaining money to the employees. We have time, the big piece is how much will I get?
SJEA and SJCSD could not come to an agreement, we will come back to the table in 2025.
