When will our board renegotiate?
Teachers and administrators in the Half Hollow Hills school district have reopened their contracts and agreed to pay freezes in 2011-12 in an effort to help the district avoid a budget shortfall, building on a recent trend of Long Island teacher unions agreeing to temporary pay freezes.
The freeze in Half Hollow Hills will come during the same year that federal stimulus money ends and will save the district $3 million for that year, officials said.
"We're thrilled, it's a groundbreaking achievement," district Superintendent Sheldon Karnilow said. "The economy is very bad, and we certainly wanted to be respectful of our taxpayers and we feel like we have accomplished something major here."

ReplyDeleteNewsday . The article listed several other districts that are either going to renegotiate or are thinking of it.
I don't seem to see the rest of the article. There was a part about that in exchange for this freeze they were going to EXTEND their contact 2 years and get 3 percent raise each of those 2 years. Sounds like a good deal then....
