Hillsborough County teachers and Hillsborough County Public Schools announced Monday the two sides have reached a tentative agreement for salary increases for "all instructional personnel including teachers, counselors, social workers, and school psychologists."
Tensions ran high Monday between Hillsborough County teachers and the school district as the two sides sat down to tried to hammer out a new contract. Late Monday evening, the county announced it had reached a tentative agreement, but teachers were already planning ways to take a stand in case talks fell through.
The agreement would provide one-time salary increases for all Hillsborough County public school instructional personnel. It still needs to be ratified by the union and approved by the school board.
