[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mcps balloon has popped. [/quote] Sadly this will be the downfall of public education in this area. County council failing to recognize that if you don’t pay teachers their COLA or steps, while raising insurance premiums with worse coverage, teachers will leave. It won’t be the teachers within 5 or 7 years of retiring, but those that are only five or seven years into teaching, the brightest and most capable ones won’t see the value in staying. You can’t take home less money each year and still pay the bills when inflation is skyrocketing. [/quote] This has been happening to federal employees since 2009. We gave up COLAs for several years and received tiny ones while our health care increases by double digits each year. [/quote]
