M-DCPS and DCSMEC have reached a Tentative Agreement for 2017/2018

Thanks to the unyielding effort of our negotiating team and active support from our members, we were able to obtain pay increases for all employees. Income that is retroactive to July 1, 2017 and is not offset by concessions or increases in out-of-pocket expenses.

“The DCSMEC membership deserve much more than available this year,” said Business Representative/Chief Negotiator Rolando Sardiñas. This is a favorable step forward taking into account the lack of funding provided by the Florida Legislature.

The DCSMEC family has maintained top level facilities, opening of schools, and recovered from Hurricane Irma (which affected the entire school district). The level of professionalism, devotion to job, and increased productivity displayed by DCSMEC members is commendable and deserving of recognition.

Details of the tentative agreement will be forthcoming very soon.
