Fremont board proposes 40 hour week for teachers
Fremont Unified School District offers a 40 hour work week for teachers in a first round pay proposal. The board also rejects a cost of living raise and cuts in class size, prompting district teachers association leader George Pfaffenberger to call the plan ridiculous. He warns of a drawn out battle, while fringe benefits remain disputed as a two page contract proposal lacks explicit listing. The proposal moves to the teachers bargaining team with a regular board meeting to follow.
