Board approves charter contract, MOUs and raises for bargaining units
Summary
The board approved a 15‑year charter renewal for the School of Arts and Sciences, multiple MOUs including compensation memoranda, and a 2% raise for LEHI bargaining unit employees (retroactive and supplemented by other funding sources).
The board approved its consent agenda unanimously on April 28, including a 15‑year charter contract for the School of Arts and Sciences (effective July 1, 2026–June 30, 2041), procurement awards for maintenance projects, and several memoranda of understanding on compensation with bargaining units.
Key compensation actions: The district approved tentative agreements and MOUs providing a 2% salary increase for LEHI bargaining unit members and a 2% increase for certain support staff represented by district council 78 IUPAT; exempt personnel were approved for a 1% increase for the 2025–26 fiscal year. Superintendent Hanna said the raises were funded by a combination of budget adjustments, staffing reserves and savings (sick leave buyback and other budgeted items) and that payroll plans aim to make the increases retroactive to the start of the year where applicable.
Charter and procurement items: The board approved a 15‑year charter for the School of Arts and Sciences (SAST on Thomasville Road), and awarded a purchase order for driveway repaving at Leon High School to North Florida Asphalt Inc., among other standard consent items.
Why it matters: The compensation actions affect all district employees included in the respective bargaining units and reflect year‑to‑date adjustments the board said were made possible by specific budget savings and reserves. The charter approval is a long‑term contract that extends site operations through 2041; procurement approvals proceed through existing purchasing protocols.
