About the LCS/LCEA Contract
One of the essential rights of our union is to negotiate working conditions and compensation for our instructional contract with the Lake County School Board. Each contract lasts three years, with yearly negotiations for pay and any issues that need quick action.
Once the LCEA Bargaining Team reaches a tentative agreement, all educators vote on it. The current contract stays in place until a new one is approved by ratification of both educators and the School Board.
This contract reflects many hours of work and a long history of collaboration—LCEA has been shaping these agreements for over 50 years. It outlines the rights, protections, and working conditions that help create a safe, productive environment for educators and students.
Every member plays a role in understanding and upholding the contract. If you have questions or notice a possible violation, reach out to your LCEA Building Representative / Worksite Leader or LCEA Officers. No concern is too small, especially when it affects safety or your ability to do your job.
We encourage you to read the full contract using the link on this page. Your union and our worksite leaders are ready to help you navigate any part of the agreement.
