Taos district pay dispute stalls teachers' raises
Taos Public Schools face a pay funding riddle as negotiations between the district and the teachers union drag on. Interim Superintendent Rose Martinez says a hired negotiator Scott Martinez of Management Associates in Santa Fe is paid 100 dollars per hour to speed talks. The district plans Sept 14 pay checks under 2007 2008 budget constraints, with most staff remaining at 2006 2007 salaries until a new contract is reached. The union warns the timeline could slip, while the board faced questions after approving higher raises for the lowest paid workers a move later deemed illegal.
