[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the BOE and Josh Starr having highly paid  teachers is more important than low student:teacher ratios.   The highest paid teachers in the area got a 7% raise over 2 years this summer, so there was not enough money to hire more teachers.

As a community, this is what we voted to do.

If you want to have even just one alternative voice on the board, then vote against the apple ballot.[/quote]

If you want to make a point get your facts straight [b]Janis[/b].

Teachers were given a step increase this past July.  Teachers will get another step increase this coming May.  The highest paid teachers have maxed out on steps so they received ONE 2% raise last July.  Those who were on step 17 last fiscal year will receive the largest increase as they moved up to step 18 last July and then to step 19 this May.  Their total increase will be 6% once both step increases take effect.  This increase is of course after two consecutive years without a step increase, and after 4 consecutive years (and counting) of no cost of living adjustment to the entire salary scale.

Now go back to your MCPS bashing on your blog.[/quote]
