FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 19, 2015
On November 19, 2015, the Board of Education of Calvert County and the Calvert Association of Educational Support Staff signed their collective bargaining agreement for 2015-2016.
The new negotiated agreement includes language regarding evaluation, transfers, work schedule when schools and offices are closed due to inclement weather or an emergency, employee leave, and tuition reimbursement.
No salary or step increases were included in the tentative agreement. The parties agreed, however, that further negotiations may occur if additional unrestricted operating funds—in excess of those necessary to support programs and services deemed by the Superintendent as essential to the operation of the system, as well as those funds necessary to eliminate the currently projected deficit—become available to the school system from state or county funding sources during FY16.
