Arbitrator denies teachers’ pay grievance
A special arbitrator at the end of last month ruled that the Palm Beach County School District was within its rights to take three years of experience pay away from about 300 teachers hired at the beginning of the school year that just ended. Arbitrator Patricia Renovitch denied the grievance filed this year by the Classroom Teachers Association on behalf of those teachers. District negotiator Van Ludy said the district dropped the salary of incoming experienced teachers who worked outside the school district, which is based on the number of years they have worked, down three years or “steps” at the beginning of the school year. This was done to be fair and make the pay of those teachers from outside the district the same as teachers who already worked for the district.
