Countdown to going back to work (school starts). If you are in the St. Augustine area, please consider joining me for bargaining for the Support Staff of St. Johns County School District.

Thank you SJEA for having their YouTube channel. For those that couldn't attend this meeting. The first part is/was the presentation about proposed 2027 Insurance increases. It will still need to be ratified/voted on by all employees. More to come on that.
