Lukes questions

assumed 25-75%?
No, it's 20-80% (but by breakdown; retirees and new hires are already at 75-25%)
asks if it's a zero salary increase? yes
Lukes cites that the cityside 25-75 breakdown (for renegotiated contracts on the city side), with zero ('though not across the board...and most had some money built in in some way)
mention of step increases, which are still happening
3 1/2--4 1/2 step increases; note that 85% of teachers are at the top of the salary schedule
the step increases for those still getting them is about 1.5 million
