Petition updateKeep Orange County’s Teachers in the Classroom!OCPS Proposal has strings attached
Orange County Classroom Teachers AssociationOrlando, FL, United States
30 Jul 2023

We need percentage raises like other Florida school districts give, not a a flat amount. 

CTA is a member-led union and our proposal is based on your concerns and input. You have overwhelmingly emphasized inflation and teacher retention to give our students the support they deserve—that means addressing salary compression for veteran teachers, valuing ESE services, and providing a pathway for teachers saddled with student debt. 

OCPS’ proposed flat amounts for raises instead of percentages, combined with significant healthcare increases, ignores these needs. Their salary proposal has STRINGS ATTACHED: it includes steep healthcare cost increases in 24/25 (for example, Plan A would now have a cost and the only no-cost option would be the small Advent network (Surefit); the employee + children premiums in Plan A would increase by nearly 100% and in Plan C would increase by 123%).

We need percentage raises like other Florida school districts give, not a a flat amount. Please continue to share our petition so our community knows that our teachers need them now.
