New Contract for Portland Teachers

The teachers got a new contract through 2013.  No cost of living increases (you and me both, buddy), but some not insubstantial pay raises for more experienced teachers.  The full text of the contract is here.  The city saved nearly $3 million on the deal.

Still, Portland is doing better than our neighbors in Beaverton, where they are faced with a new tax levy or cutting $33 million out of their budget for schools and all of the negativity that engenders.  That makes the $75K that Beaverton schools had to pay out to Seth Stambaugh for firing Mr. Stambaugh for telling his students he is gay seem paltry.
