[quote=Anonymous]What do you recommend they do? Duran’s presentation said they are cutting 21 FTEs from the central office and 80% of the budget is allocated to compensation. Given that much is allocated to compensation, it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of places to cut that would have a marked effect on the ability to raise salaries much more. The budget has teachers get an average 3.3% raise. Where I work in the private sector, 3% has been the average annual salary increase for the past few years (maybe 5% average if it’s a good year). Health insurance costs are up everywhere (public and private sectors). It seems the best thing to do would be to advocate for more money from the state or county. [/quote]
