Berkshire Hills Regional Teachers Vote On Pay Offer
GREAT BARRINGTON The Berkshire Hills Regional Teachers Assn will vote today on whether to accept the school committee’s latest salary offer. The proposal sets a minimum of 7100 for a bachelor’s degree and a maximum of 11600 for a master’s degree at the 11th step, with escalations by experience and education. Negotiations broke down last week amid accusations of delaying tactics as the union pushes for a higher framework.
