Lancaster Online: Hempfield teachers vote to delay their contracted raises for a year

Hempfield teachers vote to delay their contracted raises for a year

Move will save the district about $1.5 million

By BRIAN WALLACE, Staff Writer
Hempfield School District teachers on Monday apparently became the first unionized public school teachers in Pennsylvania to agree to a pay freeze next year.

Monday's 420-53 vote by Hempfield Education Association will save the district about $1.5 million in salaries and benefits in 2011-2012 and reduces the threat of layoffs as Hempfield battles a multimillion-dollar deficit.
