Teachers agree to concessions

AVON, May 3 – The Board of Education and Avon Teachers Association said Monday that they reached an agreement on concessions that would save about $350,000. Instead of getting a 2.4 increase in 2010-11, the final year of a three-year deal decided in arbitration, the teachers would take a 1.2 percent increase for the next two years and a 2.59 percent increase in salary in 2012-13. Raises for teachers eligible for step increases would also be delayed six months.
