The School District of Manatee County and the Manatee Education Association, the teachers' union, have reached a tentative agreement that would increase the salary for a beginning teacher with a bachelor's degree from $38,285 to $39,094, while current teachers would see a salary increase of $1,100-$1,400. The agreement must be ratified by teachers and paraprofessionals before being presented to the Manatee school board for approval.
