The cost of the Prince William County teacher's union's request for a pay raise would take an expensive toll on homeowners or lead to reduced public school services.

New information published by Prince William County Public Schools shows the Prince William Education Association is pushing for a 17% pay raise for teachers at $364 million, or about a third of the school division's existing salary budget.

The pay raise would cost the division more than it pays for the schools' transportation program, central office, facilities management, and capital reserves combined.
