[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School administrators had to manage so many additional tasks during the peak of Covid. In addition to being deemed essential workers in Spring 2020 and dealing with whiny demanding parents. Not to mention that the rumor is that central office staff is quitting left and right undoubtedly putting a burden on administrators. Plus there’s a teacher shortage which makes their day to day more challenging. They deserve a raise for all they put up with. [/quote]

Everybody — including students and parents — dealt with a lit beyond their normal responsibilities during the pandemic.  No one else is getting paid for it.[/quote]

Well obviously students wouldn’t get paid. And I do believe parents should have been allowed flexibilities with regard to reducing workload during the peak of the pandemic… for those who were fortunate to be able to work from home. Essential workers should’ve had childcare options or government assistance so they could care for their children. Now obviously those things didn’t happen, but it doesn’t mean school administrators shouldn’t be appreciated for how they have -and continue to- go above and beyond their job descriptions just because “no one else is getting paid for it”. Because the system is broken on one end doesn’t mean everyone needs to face a broken system. [/quote]

I appreciate them, but I don’t think they should be paid “pandemic bonuses.”  You realize our taxpayer dollars are a fixed pot, right?  Schools have been having budgets cut.  Dollars don’t need to shift to admins![/quote]
