The Hillsborough County School Board on Tuesday approved salary agreements for a large number of county school employees, including teachers and principals.

  • Agreements approved during specially-called meeting
  • Adjustments to salaries retroactive to July 1, 2016
  • Salary raises to district level administrators deferred

Officials said the new salary agreements were agreed upon during a specially-called meeting of the school board. The adjustments to salaries affected by the agreements are retroactive to July 1, 2016.

Among the employees affected by the adjustments are:

  • Teachers
  • Educational Support Professional (ESP)
  • Hillsborough School Employees Federation (HESF)
  • School Principals
  • Assistant Principals
  • non-represented employees

Officials went on to say that school board payroll departments are working to ensure employees receive their new salaries in their December 9 paycheck. Affected employees should then receive retro pay on their December 23 paycheck.

District level administrators' salary raises will be deferred. Officials did not specify a date for that deferment.

The proposed agreement still requires ratification by the Hillsborough Classroom Teachers Association (HCTA), which represents teachers and ESPs.
