Here are the facts. Once again members of the school board received a 2800 dollar raise. They went from making what a first year teacher makes to making what a 9th year teacher makes. Also a teacher would have to work 20 years to see that kind of raise.
Next the super wants to pay teachers a stipend well below their normal hourly rate to attend a week long teacher’s academy.
Finally the board wants to sit on 3 times the reserves it is required to or an additional 50 million dollars.
My question is why are teachers most of whom already spend a lot of their own money on their students and classrooms and who when compared to teachers nationally are grossly underpaid supposed to take it on the chin?
This is absolutely disrespectful.
