Board of Ed Meeting, PCT Contract Ratified

Ed's note: My appologies, this is being posted well after the mentioned board meeting.

At last night's meeting, the BOE voted to ratify the PCT contract.

It was the last item on a very long agenda, including student awards.the proposed Wellness Policy, Response to Intervention (RtI) and website updates.

The BOE took a 15 minute break before New Business was addressed.

Board President Lori Weinstein read a prepared statement which outlined the terms of the 2-year contract:

Teachers
2009-10 2% raise
2010-11 2.75% raise
0.25% raise to contribution to Welfare Fund in year 2

She explained that the BOE was in agreement for the increase in the first year but not for the terms of the 2nd year.

The vote was 5 to 2, with Board members Angel Cepeda and Amy Pierno voting against.
