We are pleased to report that OPE negotiated a 4% pay increase for all employees represented by BCPSOPE for the 2023-2024 school year. Staff will move up to the next step in their grade (2% increase) and receive a 2% COLA. Both are effective July 1, 2023.
Step 24 was added for staff on the last step of their respective pay grade so they would receive the same 4% increase as all other OPE staff.
Master Agreement articles were added or modified and can be referenced along with the new salary scales on the BCPSOPE website.
Previous salary scales can be viewed on the BCPS website.
There was a slight increase in health care costs per the benefits guide that was available to all staff during open enrollment in October 2022.
The new OPE Master Agreement will be posted on our website soon. Thank you for your ongoing support. If you have any questions, please send them to bcpsope@outlook.com, and we will respond.
