I still didn't get a chance to read the Newsday's cover story on teacher contracts yet, but just next door:
The Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District Board of Education opened Wednesday’s budget meeting with the news that teachers and administrators voted to decline their contracted raises for the 2011-2012 school year.
According to Superintendent Dr. Henry Kiernan, this will save the district about $840,000.
“We are very proud of what [the teachers] are doing in order to help with this budget,†Kiernan said.
Nina Lanci, president of the board, echoed the superintendent's sentiment. “The board of education would like to thank everyone for their selflessness in these tough economic times,†she said.
