Clark County Teachers Approve Contested Contract
Clark County Classroom Teachers ratified a disputed contract with the school district in a 774 to 264 vote led by CTA president Gary Gray. About 2,000 teachers packed Valley High gym for the meeting while rival AF T members handed out opposing literature. The deal raises salaries by 10 percent with about 7 percent funneled into retirement and medical funds, now fully paid by the district. Some teachers opposed the retirement protections and proposed cross state moves, while desire for official preparation periods drew concern. AFT straw poll showed 184 in favor 283 opposed, with access to ballots at the meeting. The pact covers more than 3,000 teachers.
