Teachers to vote on back pay issue in Marcellus
Marcellus Central Schools teachers will vote Monday on a tentative agreement with the district to resolve two years of back pay totaling about 335000. The settlement covers underpayment of salaries and fringe benefits from 1975-86 and 1980-81 under a five step formula, with negotiations reducing a claimed 56000 per year to a 50000 payment in one year. Superintendent Lease fears potential property tax impact of about 26 per 1000 assessed value next year.
