[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really bad across the board.

They need to increase teacher pay drastically. Like at least +$20k a year across the board on all pay scales. [/quote]

Nonsense. Pay should increase substantially for the positions where it is hard to find qualified instructors (self-contained special ed, math, science, etc.). Pay should go up until qualified professionals are willing to take the jobs.   [/quote]

I agree. I do think classroom teachers and SPED should get paid more than elective teachers. There should be three teacher scales.

Teacher 1(PE, Music, Art, Librarian, Resource Teachers, Elective)

Teacher 2(Classroom Teachers in ES and High School)

Teacher 3 (SPED and ESOL)

If this is not an option teachers should get paid more by having larger classes. The base salary is for 24 kids. Any additional child should warrant more money. It isn’t fair that some teachers have 18 kids and others have 30 and get paid the same.

They could also do bonuses for every 5 year of service.

Schools need to start thinking outside the box to RETAIN the teachers they have and the community needs to also help by paying more in taxes or implementing a meals tax to help offset the cost. [/quote]
