BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVES FISCAL YEAR 2019 NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT WITH SECRETARIES AND ASSISTANTS ASSOCIATION

The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County tonight unanimously approved an agreement with the Secretaries and Assistants Association of Anne Arundel County (SAAAAC) that includes a salary increase for all bargaining unit employees and a mid-year step increase for eligible employees.

Under the agreement, which was ratified by the bargaining unit earlier this week, all SAAAAC members will receive a 3.454 percent cost-of-living increase, retroactive to July 1, 2018. All members eligible for step increases will receive one at the mid-year point of their work year.

The Board has now approved Fiscal year 2019 negotiated agreements with all four of its employee bargaining units.

In addition, the Board tonight approved a 1.5 percent mid-year cost-of-living increase for all non-represented employees.
