District SFT near deadlock as talks near strike
Salary talks between Scottsdale School District administrators and the Scottsdale Federation of Teachers, representing 1300 teachers, are near collapse with a possible strike. The district has offered a two year package and raises frozen for some, while the union seeks a 12.4 percent cost of living increase plus 3 percent extra to catch up with the national average. The superintendent cites a 1.05 million dollar budget cut next year, with a 1.293 million dollar rise proposed for salaries, and notes future offers depend on state education funding. Bell calls district threats scare tactics and says they are far apart, over 1 million dollars, with little room to negotiate.
