DIXON – Teachers are frustrated that only one negotiation session is scheduled between now and the day before they may call a strike.

Dixon teachers have been working without a contract since August; they could call for a strike Feb. 26. The next negotiation session is Feb. 25. Four others are scheduled in March and April.

Both sides have released their latest contract offers. The Dixon Education Association is proposing more staff and 4 percent more than their previous year’s salary, while the Dixon School Board is asking teachers to take at least a 2-year pay freeze and pay more in health insurance.
