Teachers protest outside the D91 administration office

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Over 100 teachers and supporters took to the streets to voice their frustration over a proposed salary freeze by the Idaho Falls School District 91.

Teachers tell us negotiations went south last week, leading them to walk away from the table after receiving an offer for a 0% raise from the district’s bargaining team.

The IFEA president tells us as of Wednesday night, the district's latest offer is 1.75 percent.

Teachers are still asking for 2.5 percent. The district is taking that back to the board next Monday night and they will meet on Tuesday at noon.

Budget cuts have been a hot topic for the district this year.

In April, we learned the district overspent $4 million last year, which means they need to make cuts for next year.
