Anchorage Teachers, District Head to Arbitration

The Anchorage School District and its teachers union are heading to arbitration over a contract dispute, marking the first time in nearly two decades. The main issue is teacher pay, with the union seeking a three-year, 21% increase and the district offering a three-year, 17% increase. The arbitration hearings are set for January 27-29, with a binding decision expected. If no agreement is reached, the district can impose its offer, potentially leading to a strike.
