The Rose Tree Media School District announced March 23 that it has settled its contract dispute with the Rose Tree Media Education Association, the union that represents the districts teachers, guidance counselors, librarians and nurses.
The agreement appears to be closer to what the school district was offering namely a three-year contract with raises of 2.55 percent for the first year followed by raises of 2.95 percent and 2.99 percent.
The district also said there would be a switch in health plans for a net savings of $449,000 over the course of the contract.

So with the fuss reasonably settled why did the RTMEA choose to torment the parents and teachers with a vote to strike in February?
Anyway, to see what your district’s teachers made in 2009 visit here.
