The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County today approved an agreement with the Secretaries and Assistants Association of Anne Arundel County (SAAAAC) that includes cost-of-living increases for all unit employees and step increases for eligible employees.
The agreement, which was ratified by the bargaining unit earlier last night, contains the following:
- Step increases to all eligible employees in accordance with the negotiated agreement.
- A 2 percent cost-of-living adjustment to all employees.
- A back step for all eligible employees who were employed in the 2008-2009 school year, have not changed bargaining units or have changed units without an appropriate placement on the salary scale per a bargaining unit agreement, and have not reached the top of the salary scale.
- A back step for all eligible employees who were employed in the 2009-2010 school year, have not changed bargaining unit or have changed units without an appropriate placement on the salary scale per a bargaining unit agreement, and have not reached the top of the salary scale.
The increases are retroactive to July 1, 2019. The Board has now approved Fiscal Year 2020 negotiated agreements with all four of its employee bargaining units.
