[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]County employees -- operational employees who have far less to do than FCPS operations -- got SIX percent last year, when McKay and team cut FCPS to 3 or 4 percent. Some got 10 to 12 percent, which McKay/Walkinshaw celebrated as a victory for collective bargaining and workers finally getting a say in contracts.

FCPS is the largest employer in the county and it's biggest cost is labor, specifically school-based labor. It's also the main reason anyone buys homes and relocates corporations here.

Don't fall for misleading info from our "colleagues" in county government and don't attack each other. That's when they win -- there is zero reason educators have to take peanuts every year given what we bring to this region. Be proud and stand together.[/quote]

[b]You have got to stop putting out lies. [/b] Fairfax County gave all its employees a 2% MSA in the FY25 budget. There were other targeted increases based on performance so some employees got between a 3% and 6% raise. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget/sites/budget/files/Assets/Documents/fy2025/fy2025-adopted-package.pdf

FCPS gave all of its employees a 4% MSA plus a 2% midyear increase. “The approved budget includes a 4% compensation increase for all employees, funding to maintain class sizes in light of projected enrollment growth, continuation of key multiyear initiatives, and resources to support student well-being outside the classroom. The approved budget also maintains the mid-year 2% compensation increase for all employees approved by the School Board in January.” https://www.fcps.edu/news/fairfax-county-school-board-adopts-fy-2025-budget-focusing-available-resources-staff#:~:text=The%20FY%202025%20Approved%20Budget,the%20FY%202024%20Approved%20Budget.

In the spirit of putting out lies: nobody in FCPS got a 2% increase mid year this year. Due to tightness in last year’s budget (2023-2024), part of last year’s increase had to be held until the middle of the year. So everyone got the rest of their increase (2%) in January of 2024. That line of the budget was just maintaining the increase that was given, hence the word “maintains,” so that everyone didn’t wind up with a 2% decrease.

A bit misleading in the budget, but there is no truth in the statement that FCPS employees got a 4% increase this year followed by a 2% mid year increase. [/quote]
