Teachers' contract awaits Anchorage School Board approval

Megan Holland:

Three-year contract likely to be accepted for $1,800 raise in first year.

The contract raises the school district's wage and benefit costs by:

• $12.7 million, or 4.1 percent, the first year.

• $10.4 million, or 3.2 percent, the second year.

• $11.7 million, or 3.4 percent, the third year.

The School District plans to decrease its budget next year by about 5 percent to $789 million and is expected to make more cuts the year after that.

Approving the contract gives the School District a better ability to budget for the next three years, Comeau said.
