Teachers in Agreement to Pay Hike
CHICAGO AP The Chicago Teachers Union House of Representatives voted 119 to in favor of an agreement providing about 1000 a year in pay raises and movement benefits. The strike was called off and the package will cost the school system 31 million dollars, 19 million from the current budget. An additional 12 million is to be approved in a supplemental budget by the school board in July. Funding relies on a proposed 1 cent property tax increase and changes in state aid to Chicago schools. Voters will decide on the property tax increase in June, and the Illinois General Assembly must approve any increases in state aid.
