The Support Personnel Association of Lee County (SPALC) Collective Bargaining Agreement includes the terms of employment for all support staff, who are part of the SPALC bargaining unit regardless of whether they are dues paying SPALC members. The SPALC Collective Bargaining Agreement is an agreement made by The School Board of Lee County, on behalf of The School District of Lee County, and SPALC, on behalf of the support staff who serve the students of the District. The purpose of the SPALC Collective Bargaining Agreement is to promote a harmonious relationship between employees and their employer, to establish equitable procedures for resolution of differences, and to memorialize specified terms of employment. The SPALC Collective Bargaining Agreement is a living document that through the mutual agreement of the parties, the District and SPALC, can be modified to ensure responsiveness to the educational needs of our community without interruption to educational programs. The District prides itself on the positive relationship that has been built with the representatives of SPALC and seeks to continue this positive relationship through open, honest, and regular communication.
