[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I would rather get a smaller raise than have any of the cuts happen. These cuts will make my job harder and is not in the best interest of students. If the cuts were instructional coaches, there would be less pushback as they do not work with students and make teacher’s jobs easier. IMO, those positions should be the first to go. [/quote]

Principal here: Also happy to reduce the raise. I’m already working 65-70 hour work weeks. Cutting the sped dept chair and AART to halftime means more work for me and for teachers.

My understanding is that if teachers went to 5% and everyone else went to 4%, we wouldn’t be making any of these cuts. All of these cuts are on the back of elementary schools.

You're getting a principal's salary and your 5% raise would be a lot more in actual $ than our 6% raise.
I also work 65-70 hours per week as an AP teacher. Our principal sends out emails every Sunday night talking about all the fun stuff she did with her family over the weekend. Meanwhile, I spent the entire weekend grading tests.
I'm already planning ways to cut back next year so that I can work more hours tutoring. Getting shafted on salary year after year is no longer sustainable.[/quote]
