Teachers: How will you vote Thursday?
Teachers meet this afternoon to discuss the tentative contract offer from the school board. I have confirmed that the two-deal offers a 1.25 percent pay increase for this school year (retroactive to June 30) a teacher contribution of 15 percent on health care. In other words, comments on this blog here and here had it right.
Teachers will vote Thursday at their schools, a move some teachers suspect was designed to make voting easy and perhaps boost the number yes votes.
The second year of the deal provides a zero raise for teachers, but includes a “re-opener” that allows either side to request new talks on that topic only. So the two-year deal holds non-pay issues (including insurance) in place next year.
Teachers, let’s do an informal poll. How will you vote Thursday, yes or no?
