Buffalo teachers union rejects School Board’s offer of 10 percent raise
The Buffalo Teachers Federation unanimously rejected the Board of Education’s latest contract proposal, which called for a 10 percent increase in teacher salaries.
The BTF called the district’s offer “insulting and demeaning.”
“Teachers were furious, angry and insulted when they saw the district’s contract offer. It was like a slap in the face,” BTF President Phil Rumore said.
BTF leaders said the district’s offer was less than a 1 percent increase each year over the 11 years teachers have been without a new contract.
