Ottawa teachers near impasse over salaries in negotiation stalemate
After a two hour meeting Ottawa Education Association and Ottawa Board of Education attorney Bob Bezek Jr agreed to mediated sessions. Teachers laughed at a proposed 90 000 in new money noting it was not a raise. OEA pressed for a 12 percent base raise and a 3 percent yearly cost of living increase plus 1 percent more annually. Bezek proposed raising the base to 23 000 with a 2 percent schedule increase, which would still leave many teachers worse off. Critics say funds would go to new hires and not to those frozen on the salary ladder. The district would gain over 420 000 in new state money.
