Today we have a full day scheduled at the negotiation table.
We need to discuss teacher safety. Teachers have been assaulted (threatened) and some teachers have been battered (pushed around). The contract says that the district will provide a safe environment for the teachers and that is it. We need to have it more specific.
As for money... the state has provided the district with 4.45. The district is growing in student population. Additional money comes in when a district has growth. The district needs a great salary to attract the 50+ teachers that put in for retirement this year. Its a golden handshake year. They also would love to have part of the teacher salary increase to provide for technology and new school preparations. Our gas cost has gone up significantly this year and so has theirs. We are paying more than a dollar a gallon more for gas this year. The district has hired more administrators at higher rates than ever before. Our part of the budget has declined yet we are where the rubber hits the road.
We shall see.
