By funding several special education positions in the district through an $846,000 grant, Triton expects to receive federal stimulus funds. Halloran will announce she was able to restore five of the 10 original layoffs she had planned to make.
But missing from tonight's discussion will be any talk about whether the Triton teachers union is amenable to freezing the 3 percent raise built into its contract. Halloran has yet to hear from the union.
If all five unions were to give up their raises for the coming year, the district would save $900,000.
