-Make cuts:

-Find a way to measure teacher quality and have 3 different levels of raises each year: needs improvement-no raise, competent-whatever percent and then exceptional gets a higher raise than the usual level

I highly doubt that this would result in a budget cut. Raises have been minimal, if not non-existent over that past 5 or 6 years+ (they are starting to run together at this point). Raises as you suggest would go to most of the staff and would result in a budget increase.

I'm curious what you think would be an appropriate raise at the "competent" level. 2% maybe? That would be welcomed by most, but would be pricey for the schools. I need a raise, but I don't know if your suggestion is an affordable one for FCPS.[/quote]

I hold good teachers in the highest regard and think it is a very important profession. That said, we are all working hard many hours a week and in a lot of fields due to the economy raises are minimal if there are raises at all. We all face increased taxes, grocery store prices too. We are facing difficult times and not many fields are exempt.[/quote]
