Biddeford Teachers and Board clash over next year's pay
At Kennedy School last night the Biddeford Teachers Association and School Board argued over future pay. Edward Rayden urged a base scale of 6100 and more, citing a potential multi million dollar firm moving in. Philip Masse warned Biddeford cannot afford such raises, noting the tax impact. Councilman Gadbois and Mayor Lemire side with restraint, saying 6100 is unaffordable this year.
