Agreement term: 07/01/2022 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with Ocean Gate EA.

The agreement labels this guide 2023-24. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.

- Soft spot: This guide is 3 years old. It is the most recent one that could be read: the district has filed newer agreements with PERC, but they are scans with no text layer and PERC holds no searchable version of them.
