Rally supports District 6 teachers | Greeley Tribune


Rally supports District 6 teachers Greeley Tribune:

"The district's offer consists of a pay freeze across the board, though it has offered to fund the teachers' retirement and health insurance plans. The teachers union said it would like full funding of its salary schedule as well as a cost-of-living increase and retirement and health costs covered.

At the end of the rally, the teachers union president, Andi Lee, made a point to differentiate teachers from firefighters and police officers, who recently accepted salary freezes. The city, she said, is facing a multimillion-dollar budget deficit while the district received about $6 million more from the state this year than it did last year."
