West Des Moines School Board to Present Initial Offer to Teachers' Union

The West Des Moines school board will present its 2012-2013 initial proposal to the West Des Moines Education Association on Tuesday, according to a press release issued by the district.

The 4:30 p.m. meeting will be held in the Clive Room at the Learning Resource Center, 3550 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines.

Let's talk about teacher salaries. Are they high enough to attract the best and brightest? Too high? Should Iowa move to merit pay? Tell us in comments.

The West Des Moines Education Association proposal was presented on Jan. 24.

Chief negotiators are Sara Krzyczkowski for the West Des Moines Education Association and Jim Hanks for the West Des Moines Community School District.

The meeting is open to the public.
