Bridgeport Education Union Pushes Freeze Exemption Citing Pay Hikes
BEA argues for exemption from the federal pay freeze, citing teacher pay increases in summer sessions at Bridgeport. The letter to Board of Education President Francis King, with copies to City Atty. Edward Caldwell and BEA President Edward F. Daley, claims summer school activity and the system-wide contract justify continued raises for eligible teachers under federal rules. The justification hinges on pre August 15 eligibility and the district’s staff size and contract terms.
