[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Council will soon be reviewing and approving the new WTU contract for teachers. It includes ~$170M for retroactive raises and bonuses. Though charter schools educate nearly half of students attending publicly funded schools in D.C., there is nothing in the legislation about providing $$$ for retroactive raises for charter schools. If charters are willing to commit to spending the money on compensation/raises, why would we want to exclude nearly half of the teachers working in the District from this legislation? Personally, I don't think my child or my child's teacher should have access to fewer resources because we opted into a charter. How is this equitable?[/quote] Because the teachers in your kids' charter (and ours) are not employed under the terms of the contract? Is your point that Council should hold individual charter LEAs to an expectation/requirement that they increase teacher salaries?[/quote]
