Prairie Grove Teachers Settle for 3 .4%

It appears the Prairie Grove teachers haven’t gotten the same memo from the Illinois Education Association that Huntley District 158 teachers received.

Northwest Herald reporter Kelly Mahoney writes that the Grade School District 46 teachers got “a total salary compensation increase of 3.25 percent in the first year, 3.42 percent in the second year and the third-year increases will align with the tax cap.”

The tax cap is the consumer price index.

The article says the last three year contract had 5.6%, 5.4% and 5.3% increases, which, of course, were way above the increase in the cost of living.

The Huntley School Board is offering $5.4% in the first year, then the CPI, plus 0.65% for the last tow years.

That offer has been rejected by the Huntley Education Association.

District 46’s board is the one who called out the police when I took photographs through its library’s Venetian blinds and laughed too loud, leading to Allan Showalter of Heck of a Guy blog in Crystal Lake to call the police to evict me from the school building.
