Brentwood Teachers Agree to $11 Million in Givebacks

BRENTWOOD, N.Y. (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- Long Island largest teachers' union has agreed to give up next year's raises and take temporary pay cuts.

The $11 million in givebacks by Brentwood teachers comes as school districts across Long Island are to release budget proposals on Tuesday.

The concessions by the 1,400-member Brentwood Teachers Association will save more than 200 jobs and preserve students services like music classes and sports.

Brentwood is the fifth teacher union on Long Island to agree to contract concessions. The five unions represent about 3,300 teachers. Long Island has more than 40,000 teachers.
