Law dean to mediate in salaries dispute
Talks remain stymied over Rhee's proposal to fund a series of bonuses and sharply increased salaries. Teachers aspiring to the top pay tiers, as high as $130,000 a year for senior instructors, would be required to surrender tenure for a year, exposing them to possible dismissal without recourse to appeal.
Kurt L. Schmoke, dean of Howard University School of Law and the former three-term mayor of Baltimore, will attempt to mediate contract talks between the District and the Washington Teachers' Union that are now in their 17th month, both sides announced yesterday.
