MCCSSE president Vincent Foo voiced anger over a mediator recommended 26 percent raise starting July 1 and 5.5 percent annually for two years, against a 20 percent raise for teachers. The school board, facing no accord, may add about $9 million for a 6 percent staff raise, as total budget nears $719 million. Board President Shoenberg urged a timely decision, while Foo criticized the process and said union members want parity with teachers.
