[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is some confusion - the OP noted that the cola was for after retiring, this has nothing to do with salary increases for teachers while working.  Also, the benefits that were earned are not impacted.  A cola is designed to maintain purchasing power - it is not an additional 'benefit' that is designed to increase the overall compensation as some PP seemed to argue.

I'm all for paying teachers well, and FCPS does pay well, especially after last year's contribution of an additional $44M.  In terms of total compensation - salary plus benefits - FCPS ranks at the top of the surrounding school districts.  But that doesn't mean that additional raises should be made after retirement.  The County and State pension plans increase benefits by CPI and FCPS should do the same.

Adjusting this will free up money that can support some very important programs that otherwise have been identified by the Superintendent's Budget Task Force as high on the list to cut.[/quote]

But is this against their original agreement?[/quote]
