Assuming rank-and-file teachers approve it, Sarasota County schools and the teacher’s union have a new contract. Negotiatiors for the district and the unton recently reached an agreement on a contract for the upcoming school year that includes a 3% bonus for most employees. A spokesperson for the union says the bonus will go to employees that aren’t slated to receive a tenure-based bonus for the 2012-2013 school year. That tenure-related bonus is awarded every two years after and employee’s tenth year until their twenty eighth year with the district.
