UPDATED: 6:26 am EDT July 7,2008

MIAMI -- The Miami-Dade Teachers Union and school administration met all weekend long, but failed to reach an agreement on teachers' raises.

Over the weekend, the teachers union gave the School District a list of suggestions on how to cut costs in other areas.

The district said there is just no way to keep the teachers' raises on a tighter budget.
