Buffalo teachers have been without a new union contract for the last 12 years. But over the past decade there has been a major change in education. In this Press Pass conversation, WBFO's Eileen Buckley talks with Buffalo News Education reporter Tiffany Lankes about planned negotiations between the Buffalo School District and teachers union.
The Buffalo Public School District supplied WBFO News with a break down of the cost for the cosmetic surgery rider in the current Buffalo Teachers Federation contract.
According to the school district, it has spent $15.6 million dollars in the last three years for that portion of the teachers contract.
Here is the full three-year break on the cosmetic surgery rider paid by the city school district:
July 2013 to June 2014 - $5,439,218
July 2012 to June 2013 - $5,221,293
July 2011 to June 2012 - $4,966,179
