[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board needs to cut the increases over the past several years AND teachers should not get a 7 percent increase. Most jobs around the area are more like a 2 percent increase and many lost their jobs all together.  Treat it like the 2009 crash. [/quote]

Does anyone know what the police and fire departments are getting as far as pay increases, or is that not yet set? [/quote]

Not finalized yet, but uniformed police are scheduled for 6.58% next year.  Their increase was 10.69% this year and 12.83% last year before because they moved through the collective bargainig process a little more quickly than the teachers.  Uniformed fire is scheduled for 5.58% next year.  They got 7.85% and 7.83% last year, also due to collective bargaining.

Teachers got 4.00% this year, so less than their county counterparts who are also eligible for collective bargaining.  The 7.00% for next year is their first increase under collective bargaining.  Given the teacher shortage and the superintendent's recent significant raise, not a great idea to cut the teachers' collectively bargained increase, especially after fulfilling collective bargaining agreements with police and fire.[/quote]

Everything can and should be revisited with Trump slashing federal jobs and destroying the savings of many Fairfax families. [/quote]
