[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kind of agree. Administrators are a dime a dozen. My kids' school has tons of folks applying for the ever-expanding admin team but can't get enough candidates to staff up classrooms. A couple of years of teaching + M.Ed = principal. It's far harder to find excellent teachers, and I'd argue they're far more valuable.[/quote]

Good leadership is important, as our good teachers (and support staff, custodians, etc.). School leadership had been without a contract since 2020 -- and their union just negotiated a decent contract for them with retroactive pay to try to make up for the fact that they were without a contract for the last two years. Good for the negotiation team and the members of the bargaining unit! The teachers' union can and will negotiate for them as well. This idea that only [b]one [/b]group is deserving of decent pay is ridiculous - there is enough District money to go around so that *ALL* school employees can get the salaries they deserve.

School budgets have been cut, reducing teacher numbers at a bunch of schools.  That is where extra money needs to be directed![/quote]

Yes. Students show up for the teachers, not the admin. And teachers show up for the students and each other. Admin is a far smaller piece of the equation than they realize. [/quote]
