Scottsdale Teachers Likely Seek $1500 Increase in Pay
Scottsdale School District plans a new offer for about 1,300 teachers with a likely $1250 across the board. SFT president Bell says the district must put $2 million on the table for all teachers to accept, about $1500 each. Board budget cuts of almost $1 million funded the proposed raise, though Bell argues more could have been saved to meet the higher demand. The district aims to meet with the Scottsdale Federation of Teachers midweek to negotiate.
