[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are getting 6% instead of 7%…and some positions (AARTs and elementary special ed. dept. chairs) will go from full time at a school to part time or split between two schools, and the hope is that there are enough jobs any positions to absorb them. It feels really unjust.[/quote]

Are the special ed chairs and AARTs expected to do the same amount of work in their part-time schedule? I don't really understand. We have a special ed school and one AART and they are certainly working a full time job and probably still barely keeping up. Who does the work they are leaving behind if they are working part time hours? [/quote]

I don't know about the AART position. The Special Ed chairs are and it's ridiculous. That position is a ton of work already. The expectation seems to be that the Special Ed teachers will just absorb more of the work. As a Special Ed teacher and union member, I am very disappointed. I'll probably drop my membership and just get a personal liability policy in the Fall.[/quote]

I'm a gen ed teacher, and planning to do the same.  The main reason I have always been a union member is for the liability insurance. The fact that the union is declaring victory over this when it is very likely that some teachers may lose their jobs is appalling. [b]I would not want a raise that came at the expense of someone else's job, or at the very least, results in a degradation of both working conditions and support for students. [/b] [/quote]

We are both teachers and we think we’d take a 5% increase plus the bonus if it avoided the cuts.[/quote]

FCPS could avoid these cuts by reducing the raise for non bargaining unit employees.[/quote]
