Tentative Contract Reached for District 158
The school district issued the following press release Monday.
Huntley School District 158 issued the following press release Monday:
After a collaborative and constructive process, the Board of Education of Consolidated School District 158 and the Huntley Education Association have come to a tentative agreement on a contract for 2011-2012.
Contract language is now being finalized. Both sides understand the current economic reality facing the district, and the agreement is within the constraints of the tentative budget that the board approved in June.
Both sides have agreed to a “hard freeze” contract that does not add additional total compensation over the 2010-2011 year.

Apparently what that press release means is many or most of the Huntley District 158 teachers will receive a salary increase in 2011-12. The press release is not worded so your average Joe understands that fact.
"Quagliano told FEN the tentative terms don't actually freeze the last contract's steps and lanes by which teachers can increase their salaries. They've been adjusted, he said, so they'll result in 'no net increase' in total expenditures."
