BCCT Thumbs Up for Tech

Thumbs up!

To the joint board of Bucks County Technical High School in Fairless Hills and the teachers union for reaching a new three-year labor contract, which includes a pay freeze the first two years and a 2.4 percent increase in the third year. The 118-member teaching staff also will pay higher health care premium contributions (15 percent) and increased co-pays for prescriptions in the third year of the contract. Said board member Gene Dolnick, “The board was looking for solutions to remain net neutral in this difficult economic climate and we believe both parties worked at making this happen.” We applaud both sides for reaching a deal without all the acrimony that has defined other contract negotiations.

Anyone know if power is out at the school? I tried sending an email last night and have gotten a reply saying that the mail has been queued for delivery. Maybe just their email is down?
