You probably have already read about our success in negotiating a new JESPA 6-year agreement. The final draft is going to print and will be coming your way soon. Details are on our site here: https://jeffcoespa.org/negotiations/

We reached a great compensation agreement for 2019-2020, and may be receiving additional funds, depending upon ratification of the agreement by JCEA Members (the teacher’s union). Here are the details:

Increase to base pay for all employees 2.52%
Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA): 1.5% +1% from JCEA Negotiations(not yet ratified) = 2.5%
Step movement (if eligible to move a step): 3.5% average
  • Removal of Step 1 to increase starting pay to attract staff and reduce shortage.
  • The Additional 1% COLA will be awarded if both the JCEA membership and the school board ratify the JCEA Agreement which would make the total raise:

Total raise if not step-eligible: 5.02% increase

Total raise if step-eligible: 8.52% average

Compensation increases are in effect now and will show on your September paycheck.

Last September, we also raised the base salary of all ESPs by 5.6%. We are proud to say that over the last year we have won a 10.62% raise to the base for ALL ESP employees, plus continuing step movement this year.
