Washington School Board to vote on teachers union contract today

The school board is voting on the contract at noon today. Check back here this afternoon for results.
Edited to add:

Washington School Board and its teachers union approved a three-year contract this week that will raise teacher salaries and make them pay more for health insurance.

The contract, which runs from the 2009-10 school year through the 2011-12 school year, has an overall salary increase of $1,850 in each year. It increases employee contributions to health care by 40 percent over the life of the contract. The school board approved the contract Wednesday, while the teachers union approved it Tuesday.

Washington has a tiered system, so teachers with more experience pay more for health insurance. Before the 40 percent increase, they were paying between $10 and $50 in monthly premiums, depending on their seniority.

Nice grammar and punctuation. I think that if you would have paid more attention to your teachers, instead of putting them down, you would at least know how to write a sentence.
