"By our calculations, the majority of the reductions that remain in the state spending for K-12 education are in employee concessions. If they will accept a salary cut, accept an equalization of how much they pay for PERS, so it’s closer to what a state employee pays. And then freeze salaries, so they don’t get a raise in this recession. "
