A readiness to do what is right for the community is what’s needed most in these difficult times, and the South Huntington Board of Education is very pleased to announce that the teachers union has done just that. The Board of Education has been in negotiations with the teachers union for months, and late-breaking news is that they have agreed to a salary freeze as well as other concessions for next year.  

The district and Board of Education is now hoping that some of the district’s other unions follow the teachers’ lead. The Board of Education has stated publicly that savings from the teachers’ contract concessions would go toward restoring educational programs in the district for next year.
