[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCEA is committed to the salary steps which keep experienced teachers from earning decent pay when transferring to MCPS.  MCEA is a big part of the problem.  They also keep sub pay low.  I would not recommend voting for any MCEA endorsed BOE candidates (Yang, Coll, Rivera-Oven). [/quote]

If you had witnessed any part of the public contract negotiations that took place before the pandemic, you would know that is completely untrue. MCEA submitted proposals based on a perceived professional salary of $100k and how long one would expect to get to that level. They also requested dramatic increases in substitute teacher pay. MCPS responded with some gobbledegook of a salary scale which actually included pay decreases for more experienced staff. When called on it, they withdrew the counter offer and did not submit a new one. Increasing teacher pay and planning time have been priorities in MCEA bargaining. Which you would know, again, if you had witnessed any part of the negotiations.  [/quote]
