More than ever, the agreement provides multiple opportunities for all employees to earn additional money for training and other supports, including outstanding teachers in student education, those dedicated to improving student literacy, and all education support staff. In addition, the agreement supports the continued use of the district`s electronic registration application. In response to these concerns, RFEM proposes to return to the negotiating table to reach an attractive agreement that includes the following: Director Alberto M. Carvalho shakes hands with UTD President Karla Hernandez-Mats after reaching a provisional agreement. The district is using the Secure Our Future referendum and voter-approved Funds for Emergency Assistance to Primary and Secondary Schools (ESSER) and Teacher Salary Increase Allowance (TSIA) to compensate UTD members during this unprecedented time.

Last night, miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) and United Teachers of Dade (UTD) reached a preliminary agreement that recognizes the high-quality work of educators and demonstrates the district`s commitment to rewarding and maintaining a highly skilled workforce.
Under this program, teachers and other school employees can maintain 100% employer-funded health insurance. After further negotiations, RFEM also proposes that the ratification process be conducted with the following objective: “By joining forces with UTD and the legislator, we will ensure that teachers are competitively remunerated for their continuous and long-term service to our students,” said Director Alberto M. Carvalho. Through our school board`s supportive leadership, we recognize the growing challenges and responsibilities faced by staff in teaching and support, who prioritize the district`s primary goal of increasing student achievement, especially in this unprecedented year. . . .
