[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a ditrct quote from NPR this morning: "We have the highest first-year teacher salary in the country, and the fastest path to a six-figure salary", says Chancellor Wilson.

The Chancellor should have added: "...for teachers working in our Title I schools."

I'm a highly effective teacher with DCPS for +7 years, still earning five figures.

Our colleagues in Title I schools deserve those bonuses.  We all deserve retro pay and a fair salary increase, just like firefighters/emts and police officers received in their latest contract.

Our schools are being told that we will have budget cuts and will lose teachers next year.  We are being told that there is no money for teacher salary increases.  This is an expense that should have been anticipated, given the five years the District has stalled the negotiating process.

The city has a $2 billion reserve.  Why aren't our public schools and teachers worth funding?

That's different than what I'm hearing on my LSAT. We heard that all positions are costing more. I'm not sure if that's in salary or benefits.[/quote]
